Interesting places

The post-evangelical Church of Christ the Good Shepherd from the beginning of the 20th century, since 1949 a Catholic branch of the parish of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Goszcz.

The baroque features were partly obliterated when the external plaster was replaced. Today it is a single-nave, brick and plastered church with a separate, slightly lower than the nave, south-facing chancel. A vestry adjoins the chancel. The roofs are tiled: over the nave the roof is 2-sloped with lids, over the chancel 2-sloped.

The west slope is shared by the chancel and vestry. The 2-axis west elevation and 3-axis east elevation have large, 2-tier, 3-part windows closed with a semicircle; the vestry and front elevation are rectangular, with a horizontal ellipse above. The portals are closed with semicircles. On the eastern axis there is a quadrilateral clock tower, partly built into the body of the nave and topped with a pointed cupola covered with sheet metal.

In the ground floor of the tower is a porch from which there is an entrance to a winding staircase leading to the emporium and tower.
The nave and presbytery are covered by an apparent collector's vault with a partially visible roof structure of decoratively carved beams, with hangings.

The interior is in white and gold colours with red accents and unstained wood of the pillars, pews and floor. To the north, there is a wooden music choir that transitions into the choir gallery. The chancel contains an Art Nouveau stained-glass window from 1910 by the master A Seiler of Breslau.

The church furnishings are neo-Baroque from the period of the church's construction. The altarpiece features a painting by W. Veberrück from 1906 depicting Christ the Good Shepherd. The organ front shows an instrument made in 1910 by the Wrocław firm of E. Wilhelm. Wilhelm. The baptismal font is wooden.
