The three-storey Gothic church was built at the turn of the 15th-16th century with fieldstone and bricks as a Catholic church. It has beautiful star vaults and a three-sided chancel. An interesting feature is the unusually built tower, as if attached to the nave, topped with four soaring pinnacles. On the tower there is a clock installed in 1889, unfortunately no longer working today. It stopped at 9.29 AM, but it is not known what year.

Among the historic furnishings of the church, we can find a Gothic baptismal font and bells. One of them is named Anna and dates from 1519. When visiting the church, it is also worth taking a look at the stained-glass windows from 1587 depicting biblical scenes, which also feature family coats of arms of the local nobility.

The church once housed a triptych, but only the central part has survived – it is the “Last Supper” painting from 1578, now proudly displayed in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Koszalin.

The building functioned as an Evangelical church from 1538 to 1945. It was rededicated as a Catholic church on 24 February 1946.

The church was most likely visited a few times by Bishop Erazm von Manteuffel, the last Catholic Bishop of Kamień Pomorski. He was an opponent of the Protestantism introduced in 1534 by the Seym of Trzebiatów as the new religion for Pomerania. After the Reformation, the Bishop withdrew from public life. He died on 26 January 1544 in nearby Kazimierz Pomorski, where he had spent the last years of his life in a hunting lodge that no longer exists today. His epitaph can be found in the parish church in Połczyn-Zdrój.
