Saint Hedwig of Andechs church in Nieszawa

The brick church features a rectangular nave, two-bay chancel, and a four-sided tower with five stories built in the Flemish bond pattern.

The original structure was constructed between 1460 and 1468, with consecration taking place in 1496 by Kuyavian Bishop Krzesław Kurozwęcki.

The church includes Gothic vaulting in the northern chapel and decorative rhomboidal patterns created with black-colored zendrówka bricks on its exterior walls.

The building maintains its perimeter walls, nave, chancel, northern annexes, and 16th-century tower, with regular religious services held for the community.

A millstone remains embedded in the northern wall of the tower, while the external façades display numerous putlog holes from original construction scaffolding.
