Ruins of the church in Trzęsacz

The remaining south wall of the church stands on a high cliff, marking the final remnant of a structure that once stood 2 kilometers from the shoreline.

Built in the 13th century as a wooden structure, the church underwent transformation into stone architecture in the 15th century and served both Catholic and Protestant congregations.

The church ruins connect to the Baltic Sea goddess Zielenica legend, who, according to local tales, caused destructive waves after her capture by a parish priest.

Visitors reach the ruins through a dedicated viewing platform, which provides safe access to observe the preserved fragment and educational panels about coastal erosion.

Natural erosion processes gradually consumed the church over centuries, with the last service held in 1874 when only one meter separated the building from the cliff edge.
