The Evangelical Church in Kobułty ( German Kobulten ) is a church from the beginning of the 19th century that was destroyed in the Second World War . Until 1945 it was the parish church of the Protestant parish Kobulten in East Prussia . Today is Polish Kobułty only the tower with some remaining walls of the nave .
Geographical location
Kobułty is 37 kilometers east of the district town of Olsztyn (Allenstein) on a side road that branches off at Borki Wielkie (Groß Borken) on Landesstraße 16 (former German Reichsstraße 127 ) and via Popowa Wola (Pfaffendorf) to Kałęczyn (Kallenczin , 1938 to 1938 Kallenau) ) leads.
The ruined church stands on a hill in the north of the village, east of the main road coming from Borki Wielkie.
Church building
A Protestant church stood in Kobulten as early as the middle of the 16th century. It was mentioned in 1574 and 1595 respectively. On January 23, 1830 this church had to be closed due to dilapidation.
A new church was built between 1830 and 1832. The result was a classicist hall church made of bricks , which unmistakably bears the signature of Karl Friedrich Schinkel . A four-sided tower stands on the western gable side . It originally had a wooden tile roof.
The church interior had side galleries . Altar and pulpit formed a whole.
A special feature were the figures of Christ made around 1600 and the crucifixion group with Mary and John in front of the cross of Jesus. They were probably transferred to the local history museum in Ortelsburg (today Szczytno in Polish ).
The church received an organ in 1849. It had a pedal and seven stops .
The church bell consisted of two bells cast in 1869 .

Church history
It is uncertain whether there was a church in Kobulten in the pre-Reformation period. In any case, the church accounts reached back to 1580. So that was Parochie Kobulten well-founded in the mid-16th century, and at the same time built probably a church. She was royal patronage . Pastors are mentioned in Kobulten from 1599, the services were held in Polish until the end of the 19th century, every fortnight in German.
Until 1945 the parish of Kobulten was incorporated into the superintendent district of Passenheim (today Pasym in Polish ) of the parish of Ortelsburg ( Szczytno ) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . In 1925 - the church patronage was now with the state authorities - the parish had 2,400 parish members.
In the last years of the war the church was destroyed and could no longer be used. With the help of donations it was at least possible to save the tower, otherwise the building structure is completely rotten. The Protestant church members of the village now called Kobułty are now cared for by the parish in Sorkwity (Sorquitten) . It belongs to the Masurian Diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
