St. Brice's Church in Gościęcin, Poland, is a small wooden Roman Catholic church. It belongs to the Parish of the Assumption of the Holy Virgin Mary in Gościęcin. The church was completed in 1661 and renovated in 1880, when it was dedicated to St. Brice. A wooden chapel had stood on the site since 1594. The church was funded by Marta and Marcin Wolff; Marcin owned the local area. It sits on a hill on the edge of the village. Nearby is St. Brice's Well, a spring believed to have healing powers. There used to be a hermitage nearby before 1870, now turned into a mountain hut. The whole area around the church is known as Bryksy.
