Koszalin Cathedral is a Gothic building erected in the years 1300-1333 as a three-nave basilica with a massive tower. From 1534 the church became evangelical, but after World War II it became catholic again and it has been a cathedral since 1972 when a new diocese was established.
St. Joseph's Church was built in 1869-70 and is the first Catholic church built in the city since the Reformation. The present church was built in the Gothic Revival style, as were its furnishings.
St. Mary's Church was built from 1326 to 1364 and belonged to the Order of St. Mary. The interior of the church was only furnished in the second half of the 15th century. In the 16th century the Protestants took possession of the church. After the invasion of the Russian army on March 7, 1945, the church was destroyed. The Franciscan Order rebuilt the church until the 1950s. Today, the Catholic community uses the church.
Marianów Monastery is a former Cistercian monastery, later transformed into a residence for Pomeranian noblemen. Built in the second half of the 13th century, the original buildings of the monastery were probably made of wood and were later rebuilt in brick. In 1549 and 1637, fires damaged the monastery and it was left as it was. In the 19th century, the west wing of the former monastery was rebuilt, the west span of the church nave was also dismantled and a tower was built there.
