Near Nowe Wapno's old town market square you will find a nice gothic St. Mary's church. The sanctuary was built in the 15th century, replacing another church destroyed by fire.

The church decor is nice and historic, including the baroque high altar, pulpit and organ, plus the iron stove dating back to the 19th century. There's also a baroque statue of an angel hanging down from the ceiling. Be careful - he can see your baaaad thoughts! :)

The unique town hall!

The town hall in Nowe Warpno is really unique - it's the only timberframed town hall in whole Poland. The building was erected in 1697, after the great fire that destroyed the whole town. Its tall tower is covered with a baroque spire, and on one of its walls there's a 100-year-old clock, which, unfortunately doesn't work anymore: due to the leaning of the tower, the clock mechanism was blocked.

Near the town hall, there's a historic water pump which was brought to Nowe Warpno from Szczecin a few decades ago.
