Kościół Rzymskokatolicki

The first parish church in Sądów, built of fieldstone, was mentioned already in the 13th century (RM II, p. 413). Currently (second) church comes from the fourteenth-sixteenth century (multi-phase) with a readable (original) gothic form. Built of granite cubes on a rectangular plan, plastered. Blends and portals in a brick frame. (In the certificate of February 5, 1600, the parish church). Massive late Gothic tower added in the 16th century from the west (narrower than the nave); Its decoration refers to the decoration of the eastern summit; dismembered by triple blends, closed by a double and a circular pocket. Top of the tower with pilferries. The gable roof is crowned by ten pinnacles and a Latin cross. (Lemcke 1906, 173-176, Schulz 1963, 27-28, Pietrusińska 1972, 40). Attention is drawn to the interesting solution of the Eastern summit. It has four ogival blends; on the second and third two-circular, round bays. The whole creates a composition, among which the decorative cavity dominates in the form of a monumental so-called. papal cross. The peak is crowned by six pinnacles with a Latin cross on the ridge. The nave is covered with a gable roof covered with ceramic tiles. The window openings in the block have been re-walled. The interior is covered with a flat, wooden beamed ceiling. The church was rebuilt in the sixteenth century, renovated in 1858 (LB 1906, 176). Probably from this period came the buttresses next to the tower and the changed (enlarged) window openings. In the eastern wall, the original window with a full curve, beveled - walled (also in the north wall). Other window openings re-walled, smoothed outwards and inwards. Inside the ceiling is wooden, beamed. At the beginning. The 20th century was a parish church under the patronage of the owner of the estate (Moderow 1903, 643). Also in 1940, the parish church under the patronage of Countess Elisabeth v. Schlieffen (Glaeser 1940, 172). The former beautiful renaissance furnishings of this church and its decoration, significantly stood out against the background of all the temples of the day in the area belonging today to the municipality of Dolice. It should be mentioned here: an altar from 1609, a pulpit from around 1609, a wooden baptismal font from the beginning of the 16th century. XVII century, wood paneling inlaid with various types of wood from 1609. Also Renaissance: doors of the southern portal, benches, collators' lodge; epitaph, 6 portraits of family members v. Kremptzow (Kremzov); tin chalice from 1729; pewter baptismal tin from 1801; tin candlestick from 1572; two tin candlesticks from 1790; 2 bronze candlesticks hanging from 1901, brown sconces (1906). At the beginning of the 20th century, there were two bells in the tower. The older bell was cast in 1562 by master Ludwisarski from Stargard Jochim I Karstede (LB 176-179, 489). At that time, inscriptions on instruments were usually written in German. In Latin, sometimes the terms of the year appeared: anno domini, anno christi, and quotations from the Holy Bible. On the court bell, there is quoted Latin: verbum domini manet in aeternum, but also in Low German: vorghan gades vorth blift evich stan. The content of the inscription (written in late Gothic minus with distributions of 2.25 cm) sounded as follows: alle dinck mot vorghan gades vorth blift evich stan. anno. m ccccc. lxii. got. ick. mester. iochim. Karstede. deisse. Kloke. Translation: All things will pass away, only the word of God is eternal. In 1562, master Jochim Karstede cast this bell. (ML, pp. 150, Wisłocki 2005, 62, 78, 97, 127, 149). On June 30, 1917, one bell was removed from the tower and sent for war purposes. The only bell existing here after World War II, at the behest of the district authorities after 1945, was to be transferred to Płotno for scrap. As the inhabitant of the village, Jan Kaśkiewicz, mentions in an interview written in the book Bloody Footsteps (GS 2005, p. 166), responsible for the transfer of the resident of Sądowa, however, he handed over a valuable instrument to Fr. Jerzy Kowalski, parish priest of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Choszczno, who placed him in one of the churches in Choszczno.
