GOTHIC CHURCH IN GRYFINO 13TH CENTURY

The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Gryfino (Zachodniopomorskie Province) is a Roman Catholic church, the roots of which probably date back to the end of the 13th century. The construction of the church probably started around 1280. Until 1300, most likely a transept and a chancel were erected, and in the same year an altar was also founded. There are many indications that until 1325 the body of the temple with three naves and part of one of the towers was erected. In the 15th century, the height of the aisle walls was raised and new late-Gothic vaults were added. Interestingly, in the 16th century, the church became a church and was taken over by Protestants. In the modern era, the church fortunately avoided damage. Unfortunately, it also underwent a rather unsuccessful renovation in the 19th century, and in 1938 a neo-baroque helmet was added to the building. After the end of World War II, the church in Gryfino became a Roman Catholic church again.
