West Pomeranian Necropolis of the Dukes from the family of Griffins.

In 1321, Bishop Konrad Kamien gave the patronage to the church in Darłowo to the brothers Święce: Peter and Jasiek and Peter's son – Wawrzyniec.
This year is considered to be the beginning of the construction of the Blessed Virgin Mary, known as St. Mary's Church.

The church was plagued fires in the years: 1589, 1624, 1679 and 1722.
The fire in 1679, resulting from a lightning strike, burned down the entire interior of the church with a tower.
From 1535 till the end of the hostilities in 1945, the church belonged to Protestants, most of whom lived in the area of Pomerania.
At that time, there were many changes in church architecture.

After the Second World War, along with Polish settlers, Catholic priests came to the city.
On 14 August 1945, the Franciscans of the Province of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception took over the church and on 1 September of that same year, its consecration was made.
Father Damian Tyniecki was the first parish priest.
Since 1974, the church has been reconstructed to regain its Gothic roots.

The balconies were removed, the plasters were knocked off from the rib vaulting in the nave and aisles; a bay and two gothic and medieval portals, well-preserved wall paintings in the chancel were exposed.

What deserves particular attention in St. Mary's Church in Darłowo is Pomeranian Mausoleum with the sarcophaguses of King Eric, Elizabeth, wife of the last Duke of Pomerania and Hedwig – Princess of Pomerania which is located in the chapel of the church tower.

It also possesses a richly decorated Baroque pulpit, probably from around 1700.
Its body is embellished with reliefs of scenes from the life of Christ and biblical scenes.
The pulpit is supported by the figure of an angel.
The canopy is a scene of the Last Judgment.
The church has a Baroque mural painting of Adoration of the Magi (seventeenth-eighteenth century) and a window painting of St. Christopher located in the walled bay.

In addition, there are six portraits of the Apostles from the late seventeenth century, the Renaissance baptismal bowl from the sixteenth century, made in Nuremberg.
Baptismal font carved in the plate is the work of an artist from Pomeranian Land – William Gross.
It is located in the nave of the church, just below the balcony.

Also worth mentioning: Baroque crucifix and the tabernacle from the seventeenth century, Baroque stalls from the seventeenth century, brass chandelier with an angel from the turn of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and organ prospect from 1853.
The neo-Gothic main altar comes from 1853.
The images in the upper part show a figure of the Archangel.
On the sides, there are figures of saints: Peter and Paul, carved in wood.
In the aisles and chancel, note the carefully crafted stained glass windows.
															
The glass in the chancel shows Christ surrounded by the Evangelists.
Moving south along the nave, we see among others a figure of St. Adalbert.
Stained glass was funded by the Czech municipality Old Hrozenkov, with which the city of Darłowo cooperates under the partnership agreement.
Right next to it, there is a crest of the city Darłowo which adorns another window of the temple.

In the hosts of the church, there is a quite specific lapidary.
Collected remains come from the cemeteries of as many as four denominations: Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, and Jewish.
The first post-war pastor of the years 1945 – 1950 was Father Damian Tyniecki, who came to Darłowo from Radziejów on Kujawy, along with a large group of settlers from this region.
To his honour, one the street has been called with his name.
