Church of Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Górzno.
The first temple, built immediately after the establishment of the parish, was plundered and burned by the Teutonic Knights in 1409.
The new wooden church survived only until 1443. Another building, more impressive, with a free-standing belfry, was destroyed during the Swedish invasion in 1629.
The next temple was erected thanks to the efforts of the Holy Sepulcher Wojciech Ślęcki and survived until 1763.
Two years later, another parish priest from Górzno, Antoni Januszewski, started construction work on the brick church, which has survived to our times. The construction was completed only in 1812, and in the 19th century the towers of the building were added.
