Church of Sts. Stanislaus Kostka Cisowo

monuments

The history of the church in the former Zizow is not well known. According to provincial monument conservator L. Böttger, from 1321 the church was under the patronage of the town of Darłowo. Before that, the care of the church belonged to local feudal lords Peter and Jasco von Neuenburg and to the parish church in Darłowo. Around 1370, the rector of the church in Cisow was Jakobus Keykow. The village was only sold to the town in 1378 by Weno and Borante von Rügenwolde and Heinrich Döring and his wife.

The church was built in the Gothic style, on a wide rectangular plan, with a three-sided chancel. Adjacent to the nave is a rectangular sacristy from the 15th century and a chapel, presumably built in 1900. A distinctive feature of the church is its exceptionally massive and tall tower, which, according to legend, served as a navigational landmark for sailors at sea. The tower is topped with a finial in the shape of a rooster, a ball, and a cross.

The interior of the church is notable for its 14th-century stone baptismal font, a baroque three-tiered main altar, a wall-mounted pulpit with a canopy, a Renaissance organ gallery, and marble tombstones of Jochanes Schlutius and Barbara Scheinnanin from 1793. Additionally, there are organs from 1862 and neo-Renaissance pews.
