    The neo-Gothic church was built in 1890.

      Saint John the Baptist (also John the Baptist), to whom this church is dedicated, is – like Saint Joseph – a man on the threshold between the Old and the New Testament. His parents are Zechariah and Elizabeth. After the proclamation of God's incarnation, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who will give birth to a son in old age, John the Baptist. This is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner / pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches the repentance of sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan, where Jesus also comes to be baptized, being filled with the Holy Spirit that descends on him from heaven.
      The memorial day of John the Baptist (Baptist) in the calendar of saints is June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.

        The neo-Gothic church was the first Catholic church in Stettin since the Reformation in 1890 and served, among other things, the Polish minority. It burned down to a large extent after being bombed by the Allies in 1944 and was reconstructed after the Second World War.
