Building history and description

A church in Stojentin was mentioned as early as 1519. The current building dates from the 17th century - with a three-sided choir and attached sacristy made of mixed masonry, solidly built on a field stone base and completely plastered over. There are buttresses on the longitudinal fronts.

The altar with cartilage in the altar wings and with a baroque structure showed a crucifixion painting in the middle part and a representation of the resurrection in the upper part . The pulpit comes the inscription from the year 1632. In the middle parapet field was an inlaid work , which the alliance coat of arms of Albrecht Putkamer and Madalena Bohten anno 1632 showed. An oil painting of Barbara Sophia von Zastrow, who died in 1682 , once hung above the pulpit .

To church facilities also included, in 1945 organ , a Tauftisch in cup-like shape and a baptismal from the 17/18. Century, as he was also in a number of neighboring churches such as in Lupow (now Polish: Łupawa), Mickrow (Mikorowo) and Kulsow (Kuleszewo).

Particularly valuable was a silver gilded communion chalice , which bore the coat of arms of Joachim Stojentin and Anna Massow on the six-pass foot . The pommel had diamond-shaped buttons with roses between them and a crucifix on the foot . It was a late Gothic work.

There were originally three bells in the tower, the largest of which bore the inscription Gloria in excelsis me fecit JM Meier-Schlawe in 1777 sit nomen domini benedictum sursum corda . The names of the church patrons and the clergy at the time were also given: Jürgen von Wobeser , Karl von Münchow and Christian Pomian Pesarovius . The smallest bell bore the inscription Deo anno domini 1651 .

Two of the three bells had to be delivered in the First World War . In 1921 the church received three new bells. The largest bore the inscription Donated in difficult times by the Stojentin parish. Lic. Laack . On the middle one was the Bible verse Glory to God above , and on the smallest one the continuation of Peace on Earth .

In 1933 the Stojentin Church received two new windows with stained glass. They depict Jesus carrying the cross and the sacrifice of the dead of the First World War.

Previously a Protestant church, the church was expropriated in 1945 in favor of the Catholic Church. She received a new consecration and the name Kościół św. Stanisława Biskupa i Męczennika ("Church of St. Stanislaus , Bishop and Martyr", in short: St. Stanislaus Church).
