On the external elevations, there are metope friezes, mascarons, buttresses adorned with a cross and lily, as well as traceries, which are rare in the architectural decoration of sacred buildings in Western Pomerania.
The parish church is located in the central part of the Old Town, south of Victory Square and separated by the southern row.
Under the date of 1297, there is a written mention of the parson Ludevinus, indicating that the construction of the building was advanced and partially fulfilling its function.
[9] The final stage of expansion was the construction of the St. Mary's Chapel (German: Kapelle der Maria), located on the northern facade of the nave.
Restoration work began in the early 17th century when the library was arranged anew, the organs were repaired, and the tower's crowning was renovated.
[12] On 31 March 1658, a fire destroyed the southern, western, and central parts of the city, including the church,[13] from which only partially load-bearing walls and pillars remained.
The church was rebuilt thanks to the foundation of Elector Frederick William and the involvement of the city's residents and the surrounding area.
The intention of the architect Konrad Kruhl from Szczecin was to recreate the appearance of the church and incorporate new Neo-Gothic elements, such as new gables for the chancel, St. Mary's Chapel, and the sacristy.
[20] The last years of the late 20th and early 21st centuries also saw conservation and renovation projects, including the replacement of the roof covering and the improvement of the aesthetic appearance of the church tower.
[27] The eastern facade features a single pointed arch window with two slopes and three jambs, separated by five bars and filled with a stained glass[27] depicting the image of the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove.
[28] The upper part of the window is filled with a characteristic tracery (rosette type), typical of architectural decoration in the region.
[29] The gable, resembling a pediment, is separated from the lower part by a string course, with a continuous frieze of blind tracery (white plastered).
[27] The wall corners are decorated with pinnacles with tented roofs, and the top of the gable with a ridge ornament – a crocket (cross motif), which refers to the wimpergs.
Between the second and third buttress, just below the third window, there is a blocked-up pointed-arch portal with three slopes and an irregular double jamb with a blind archivolt, decorated with ornaments in the shape of trefoils, pears, and hollows.
[5] The interior of the chancel with a rib vault is filled with the main Baroque altar measuring 12.00 × 4.80 × 0.70 m,[17] three Neo-Baroque choir stalls, a pulpit, 18th-century epitaphs, and candelabra.
[4][10] In the facade wall, there are two large-span arched windows with a small impost, featuring one slope, four bars, and filled with stained glass.
Above them are niches with a similar shape, featuring a single jamb and vertical, narrow openings with a lower pulpit-like sill.
[5] The facade is crowned with a stepped gable with blind windows (a type of double pediment), behind which are hidden double-pitched roofs.
The turret, resembling a pinnacle, is an extension of the buttress, which is located above the faced string course with a continuous frieze of blind plastered tracery.
[27] The southern wall features 4 four-jamb incomplete pointed-arch windows, divided by two bars and filled with stained glass.
A string course with a rustic profile at the bottom (with shapes resembling vault sections) separates the part of the wall from the roof slope.
In some publications, authors suggest that it was transferred from the former, demolished Franciscan church, which was located on Kościelna Street in Gryfice.
[27] In the upper part, divided by a string course with a pulpit-like face, there are seven pointed-arch blinds (one corner and two pairs of smaller and larger ones with two slopes).
[5] From the church porch to the nave, there are wide metal and glazed doors (main double-winged and a pair of side single-winged) with a rectangular transom.
The structure of the nave with rib-vaulting and a truss system is supported by six main and octagonal pillars, connected by transverse beams with buttresses.
The second, placed on the right side, is narrower (also full), with a segmental arch and two chamfers, divided by a single mullion and having a simple tracery in the upper part.
[27] In the second part, three full Gothic windows are situated, with a segmental arch and three voussoirs, separated by three mullions (southern, western, and northern sides).
The fourth part contains small embrasures, four on each wall, visually similar to the larger ones, except they lack rounded smaller rosettes and are divided only by one bifora pillar.
Two narrow embrasures also appear on the eastern side, in the corner of the tower facade, separated by the ridge of the gable roof over the nave.
An arched entrance leads to the upper part of the tower, filled with a wooden door leaf, located in the eastern wall of the vestibule, on the southern facade.
