Facts and practical information

St. Adalbert Church in Szczecin - a neo-Gothic hall church built between 1906 and 1909, designed by architect Jürgen Kröger. It currently serves as the Roman Catholic garrison church of the Szczecin-Kamień diocese. It is built of brick, in the elevation has a massive, asymmetrically set tower 65.5 meters high. The style of the building is eclectic - mostly neo-Gothic, but there are also neo-Romanesque motifs, especially in the decoration. The building is 35 m long, 23 m wide, and 17 m high.

Before the war the church belonged to the Evangelical parish and was called Bugenhagenkirche - in honor of Jan Bugenhagen, the father of the Reformation in Pomerania. During World War II, the church building suffered during the allied air raids, but it was quickly decided to rebuild - in 1948 the church was consecrated and taken over by the Roman Catholic parish.

Inside there is, among others, a stone altar and pulpit and a 16-voice organ made by master Brandt from Walcz.

The church and its surroundings were added to the Register of Historic Places on April 20, 2009.
