The Templar chapel in Rurka, preserved to this day, was consecrated in 1248 by the bishop of Kamień Pomorski. It was built of processed granite stones, on a quadrangular plan. It is a single-nave building with a rectangular presbytery, narrower and lower than the main nave. The architecture and construction technique of the chapel, especially the vault, are modeled on buildings from France. Today, it is the only remnant of the Templar order in Rurka.

The Templar chapel, consecrated in 1248, is a small single-nave building with a separate, straight-ended presbytery. The church walls were built of precisely processed granite blocks arranged in regular layers.
The original entrance to the temple through the stepped portal has been preserved on the north side. Romanesque windows splayed on both sides and the oculus, now bricked up, have also survived on the west side. Capitals were discovered inside the presbytery, indicating that this part of the building was vaulted.
