Geographical location
Bukowo Morskie is the eponymous place for the Jezioro Bukowo ( Buckower See ), which is nine kilometers southwest of Darłowo ( Rügenwalde ) and 29 kilometers northwest of Koszalin ( Köslin ) on the voivodship road 203 Koszalin ( Köslin ) - Ustka ( Stolpmünde ) in the Sławno ( Schlawe ) lies. The village is now part of the Darłowo rural community and has a population of just over 400.
Buildings and equipment
The three-aisled brick church, whose mighty tower was built earlier, was built by the monks of the Cistercian monastery Buckow . In 1248 Duke Swantopolk II of Pomerellen donated the monastery, which was consecrated in 1253 by Camminer Bishop Hermann von Gleichen .
The monastery complex and church were in the immediate vicinity. The monastery was dissolved after the introduction of the Reformation in Pomerania in 1535 and the associated abbey sites were transferred to the Rügenwalde office . The monastery complex no longer exists today. The church has survived, and the villages previously owned by the monastery formed the parish of See Buckow after 1535 .
The church has a polygonal eastern choir, a in the sandstone - Relief from the early 14th century was a Crucifixion. The central nave and choir have beautiful star vaults , the side aisles are covered with cross vaults . They are supported by buttresses.
In the church there was a shrine altar with painted wings from the 16th century. The carved figures of three saints stood in the central shrine . In the wings there were figures of the apostles and saints. Another pair of wings was able to close the first and was painted with pictures from the life of Jesus . The last abbot of Buckow Monastery, Heinrich Kresse , had donated this late Gothic winged altar . The altar was brought to the museum in Stolp .
The pulpit, richly decorated with figures, is a Renaissance work . The baptismal font with vine tendrils is a Nuremberg work from the 17th century.
The abbot chair, donated by Father Burkard in 1476, is unique : the front wall, divided into three parts, is divided into corner and intermediate pinnacles, between which flax arches with Gothic tracery are inserted. This chair was brought to the Szczecin State Museum before 1945 .
The interior includes two brass crowns, one of which bears the year 1672. The brothers Friedrich and Christian Gerth donated two ship models to the church. The church was also decorated with three epitaphs , which were made for pastor Matthias Henning Große around 1716, Anna Maria Kisselbach around 1725 and pastor Christian Leopold Laeuen around 1813.

Parish
Until 1945, this church was the center of the parish See Buckow (Bukowo Morskie) as the parish church , the inhabitants of which were almost without exception Protestant denominations. The villages Böbbelin (Bobolin), Büssow (Boryszewo), Neuwasser (Dąbki) with the Deep, Steinort (Gleźnowo) and - since 1580 - Pirbstow (Przystawy), which became an independent branch municipality with the church building in 1780, belonged to it. In the 19th century, settlements such as Neu Steinort (Gleźnowko), Karlskamp (Kępka) (near Büssow) and Wilhelmsheide (Bezmieście) (near Lake Buckow) were added. Deep became Damkerort (Dąbkowice).
The parish was located in the parish of Rügenwalde in the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .
Today the population of Bukowo Morskie is predominantly Catholic. The Protestant citizens are now looked after by the more distant rectory in Koszalin ( Köslin ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Polish Evangelical-Augsburg Church . The earlier church registers , which began in 1657, can be viewed today in the Evangelical Central Archive in Berlin-Kreuzberg .
