Church building
Building history
A church building was erected in Leunenburg as early as 1326/28 at the time of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order , Werner von Orseln . The building was one of the first stone churches of the time of the order.
After the destruction by the Lithuanians around 1350, the church, which still exists today , was built on the same site . It is a partially plastered field stone and brick building with a polygonal choir closure and a transverse tower - built around 1400 . The tower was raised twice in the following years until it reached a height of 32 meters. Modifications were made in 1591 after a fire in the tower.
At that time the choir was vaulted. The vaulting of the nave was not made until 1842 as a replacement for a painted flat ceiling. In the same year the tower received the neo-Gothic stepped gable . The choir and nave were separated by a triumphal arch , and galleries ran along the sides .
The octagonal choir was built around the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries. Century. The sacristy in the north-east of the choir with barrel vault and stepped gable was added as early as 1400. At the same time, the vestibule was added to the south of the nave with a pointed arched entrance and a stepped gable, with an octagonal star vault on the inside. In the 17th century, the funeral chapel of the Eulenburgs was added with the inscription plate from 1785 and the gable from 1887.
The church received a major renovation between 1839 and 1842.
After 1945 the church became a Roman Catholic place of worship and was named " Christ the King's Church ". The interior was structurally adapted to the changed liturgical use.
Interior
The original interior was changed in the classicist sense as early as the 1820s. The pulpit altar from 1824 in Empire style is the work of the sculptor Karl Ludwig Biereichel from Rößel ( Reszel in Polish ). The chairs, galleries and doors were changed to match. The font made of white marble was located in the old town church of Königsberg, which was then demolished, from 1580 to 1828 and was purchased from there. A silver baptismal bowl dates from 1695.
Adam Gottlob Casparini from Königsberg (Prussia) (today Russian Kaliningrad ) created the organ in 1745 . Your prospectus shows the Eulenburg coat of arms on the right and the Tettau coat of arms on the left .
The bells were cast in 1593 and 1735.

Church history
A church was founded in Leunenburg in the pre-Reformation period in the 14th century. Under the influence of the Reformation it became Lutheran , and from 1525 Protestant clergy served here.
In 1925 the parish of Leunenburg had 5,500 parish members. A year later, a branch church was built in the neighboring village of Korschen (in Polish: Korsze ) , but its parish remained in parish connection with Leunenburg. The second pastor of Leunenburg was responsible for the Korschen district. The seat of the parish office was Leunenburg.
The patronage for the church in Leunenburg was held by the Counts of Eulenburg , based in Prassen ( Prosna in Polish ). The church in Korschen had no patronage.
The connected parish of Leunenburg-Korschen was assigned to the church district of Rastenburg (in Polish Kętrzyn ) and thus belonged to the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . Escape and expulsion of the local population in the wake of the Second World War put an end to the Protestant Church in Leunenburg and Korschen. The Protestant church members living here today orientate themselves towards the parish in Kętrzyn - with its subsidiary churches in Bartoszyce (Bartenstein) and Barciany (Barten) - in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Catholic
Church history
Until 1945, Leunenburg was incorporated into the Catholic parish in Sturmhübel ( Polish: Grzęda ) in what was then the Diocese of Warmia . After 1945, due to the large number of new Polish settlers, the number of Catholics in the place now called Sątoczno and its surroundings increased by leaps and bounds, and the former Protestant church in the place became a Catholic place of worship. On May 25, 1974, a Catholic parish was established in Sątoczno, which - like the church - was named "Christ the King". The parish is assigned to the deanery Sępopol (Schippenbeil) in the current Archdiocese of Warmia .
