The church in Buddern ( Polish: Kościół Trójcy Przenajświętszej w Budrach ) is a field stone building from the first half of the 18th century. Until 1945 it was a Protestant parish church for the parish of Buddern ; today it serves as a place of worship for the Roman Catholic parish of Budry in the diocese of Ełk .
Geographical location
Budry is located in the northeast of the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship on Voivodeship Road DW 650 (former German Reichsstraße 136 ), which connects the district towns of Gołdap ( German Goldap ) and Węgorzewo (Angerburg) and to Stara Różanka (Alt Rosenthal) at the gates of the city Kętrzyn (Rastenburg) leads. There is no train connection.
The church is in the middle of the village at ul. Marii Konopnickiej.
Church building
Already in 1724 there were plans to build a Protestant church in Buddern. However, the project could only be realized in 1738 and 1739, when a building made of plastered field stones was built.
The wooden tower on the church, built at the same time for the bells, had to be demolished in 1882. In its place there was a massive tower in front of the church .
The interior of the church has a flat roof and originally had two lateral galleries . The altar and pulpit are simple carvings . In 1799 the church received an organ that was made by the master organ builder Nippert from Insterburg (today : Chernyachovsk in Russian ). The ringing initially consisted of three bells.
The building suffered severe damage during the First World War and could only be restored in the first few years after the war.
In the 1950s, numerous restoration work was carried out on the church, while the furnishings of the liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church were adapted. The Catholic parish is now the owner of the house of God which it dedicated to the Holy Trinity .
Parish
In 1739 Buddern became a church village ; until then it belonged to the parish of the church in Engelstein ( Polish Węgielsztyn ). In the founding year, a pastor's office was created, which replaced the second official office in Engelstein. In 1925 the parish of Buddern had 4,450 parishioners. They lived in a large parish comprising almost 40 towns and places. Until 1945 the parish of Buddern belonged to the parish of Angerburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union . After 1945, flight and expulsion of the predominantly Protestant population made church life no longer possible.
Increasingly, however, were settled by Polish citizens who were mostly Roman Catholic denominations. If the Catholics belonged to the parish church of the Good Shepherd in Angerburg before 1945 , they now took over the previously evangelical church in the place now called Budry and made it their parish church. The resulting parish is part of the deanery Węgorzewo in the diocese of Ełk (Lyck) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland . Living in Budry few evangelical church members now belong to the parish in Węgorzewo, a filial community of the parish Giżycko (Giżycko) in the Diocese Mazury the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .
