Half-timbered church in Stegna

The Herz-Jesu-Kirche in Stegna (Steegen) in the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship is a Roman Catholic parish church and the main church of its own deanery . Before 1945 it was a Protestant church.

Building description

The church was built in 1682/1683 as a half-timbered building with brick infills . Its front tower is crowned by a needle helmet and bears a weather vane with the year 1683. The interior of the hall church is spanned by a flat wooden vault on which there are unusual canvas paintings. The front of the large organ, made before 1681, still stands out from the rest of the baroque furnishings. The instrument was installed in 1914.
