Church of St. Wojciech in Szczecin - a neo-Gothic hall church built in 1906-1909 according to the design of architect Jürgen Kröger. It currently serves as a Roman Catholic garrison church of the Szczecin-Kamień diocese. It is made of brick, with a massive, asymmetrically arranged tower in the facade, 65.5 m high. The style of the building is eclectic - mostly neo-gothic, but there are also neo-roman motifs, especially in the decoration.
Before the war, the church belonged to an Evangelical parish and was called Bugenhagenkirche - in honor of Jan Bugenhagen, the father of the Reformation in Pomerania. During World War II, the church building suffered during Allied air raids, but a decision was quickly made to rebuild it - in 1948 the church was consecrated and taken over by the Roman Catholic parish.
Inside there are e.g. a stone altar and a pulpit as well as a 16-voice organ made by master Brandt from Wałcz
