Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Szczecin, Gothic parish church in Stołczyn district, Szczecin, Poland.
The Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is a single-nave structure with a transept, built on granite foundations and brick walls at the intersection of Nehringa and Koscielna streets. The building features a baroque tower that was added during the 1725 reconstruction.
The building originated in the 13th century as a Cistercian monastery church and served the spiritual needs of the region for centuries. In 1725 it underwent major reconstruction, gaining its baroque tower and transept at that time.
The interior showcases baroque artworks including an altar from 1727 with five biblical oil paintings and sculptures of angels and saints positioned throughout the space.
The church is best visited during daytime hours when it is open for services and viewing. It's worth checking ahead for current opening times, as these can vary depending on the season and church events.
The church grounds contain an unused cemetery from the early 19th century with a special memorial in one corner. This memorial honors those who fell in World War I and provides a quiet space for reflection.
