The church dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel combines several distinct architectural and decorative features. The building dates from 1770 and is built using half-timbering. Its Gothic tower dates from the time of the first church, in the 15th century.

Smaller details also contribute to the church’s character: the side doors have Baroque wrought-iron handles. An old lock bears the inscription “Ernest Hartcke and Johann Hartcke, Rügenwalde” and the year 1771. There is also a remnant of a monument west of the church. These details give you specific points to look for if your interest in architecture and historical details extends beyond the church building itself.

The half-timbered buildings are not evenly distributed throughout the village: most have been preserved in its western part. Staniewice has 19 half-timbered houses in total. The church and the houses thus both contribute to the half-timbered character of the village, each with its own features and location within it.
