Protestant church in Pokój

The church was consecrated on 8 August 1775, but the construction works were completed two years earlier. The parish itself was founded in 1756, and in 1765 a temporary church was built, to which King Frederick II the Great consented at the instigation of his mother, Queen Sophie.

A characteristic element of the current church is the steeple, which towers overhead and is crowned with an hourglass and a dome. The most interesting elements of the church interiors are the galleries and the ornamental altar. You can also see a number of beautiful paintings, such as The Last Supper by Beuthes, and Resurrection and Ascension by Johann Ernst.

The church also has impressive pipe organ, made in 1904 by the Schlag & Söhne company. The organ front was taken from the original pipe organ from 1774, which had been made by Christian Siegmund Puchert of Oels. The instrument has undergone a number of comprehensive renovations, the most recent of which was in 2010.

Near the church, there is a cemetery where you can see the Classicist Revival tomb of the forest inspector Heinrich von Burgsdorf from 1806. The sandstone tomb sculpture is a life-sized figure of a woman resting against a plinth with an urn on which is a portrait of the departed. Another interesting local object is the tomb of Duchess Amalia zu Hohenlohe-Langenburg, who died in 1847.
