Church of St. John in Stargard

The Church of St. John features a substantial brick tower reaching 99 meters into the sky and stands as a primary religious structure in Stargard.

Construction of the church began in 1408, incorporating remnants of a 13th-century Romanesque temple made of granite blocks within the pillars of the main nave.

The Church of St. John represents the architectural tradition of Brick Gothic, displaying intricate brickwork patterns typical of medieval Northern European religious buildings.

The church belongs to the Parish of St. Joseph and maintains regular Catholic services while welcoming visitors interested in its architectural and historical elements.

During renovation work in 1998, workers discovered a collection of documents, coins, and a letter from 1893 hidden within the church tower.
