The church in Przywodzie (German: Fürstensee) was likely built in the 15th century. From around 1540, it remained in the hands of the Protestants under the patronage of the von Wedel family, who in the 18th century donated the rich late Baroque furnishings and financed the renovation of the ceiling. After World War II, the building returned to Catholic ownership and was renamed the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In recent years, it underwent a thorough renovation.
The church was built of fieldstone and brick, used for the corners, upper sections, and architectural details. The result was a small, aisleless building on a rectangular plan, measuring 21.1 x 9.4 meters, without a separate chancel, typical of the rural religious architecture of medieval Western Pomerania.
The modest church is adorned with two triangular gables, crowning the shorter sides of the building.
The wall surrounding the church is an interesting feature. It was reinforced immediately after World War II using vandalized Protestant tombstones. Many tombstone heads can be seen in the wall...
