St. Mary's Church, Protestant until 1945, is a late Gothic brick building with a choir and tower. It was probably built in 1442. The beam ceiling, which was once painted in color, was painted over. After the devastating fire in 1692, the church was rebuilt a year later and equipped with a baroque altar with a crucifixion group between winding columns.
After the Second World War, the church was taken over by the Catholic Church in Poland, which rededicated it on August 15, 1946 (the day of the Assumption of Mary). Since then the church has been called the Church of the Assumption.
