Ruins of a church from the 18th century. The church survived the last war and masses were held here until 1962. Later it was abandoned and fell into ruin. Today only the external walls remain. There is no roof and no tower. Next to it are the remains of an old, post-German cemetery. The gravestones are destroyed. The gravestone with blacksmith's insignia draws attention.

The church in Ostrowite was built in the 18th century. However, the first temple existed here already in the 16th century, as evidenced by the remains of the floor from that period. The last masses were celebrated here in 1962. Inside there was an 18th-century altar with older figures of saints and the Virgin Mary with Child, which was moved to the parish church in Dobiegniew. The remains of the church were subjected to conservation in the early 21st century and secured as a permanent ruin. The brick and stone walls were reinforced with concrete bands.

There are sections with poor surface.. but there are also those that are perfect. You will definitely need tires wider than 30C (for greater comfort)
