Church in Karnice, before 1946 the Evangelical Church of Karnitz
Church and chapel

Karnice (German Karnitz ) is a village and seat of a rural community in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship , Powiat Gryficki ( Greifenberger Kreis ) (from 1975 to 1998, Karnice was administratively part of the Szczecin Voivodeship ).

Geographical location

The village is located in Western Pomerania , about 17 kilometers northwest of Gryfice ( Greifenberg i. Pom. ) And 76 kilometers northeast of Stettin .

history

Karnitz ( Carnitz ) west of Treptow an der Rega , east of Hoff and north of Greifenberg i. Pom. on an 18th century map

The Carnitz estate was acquired in 1840 by Ferdinand Ludwig Elbe (1791–1857) together with Neides, Nitznow and Gützelfitz. A Fideikommiss with 54,000 thalers capital value was set up, the head of which was named Elbe-Carnitz . The last landowner Ruth von Elbe-Carnitz, née von Reichel, fled from the Red Army in the spring of 1945 .

Towards the end of the Second World War , Karnitz was occupied by the Red Army in 1945 and then - like all of Western Pomerania - placed under Polish administration. Unless they had fled, the villagers were expelled from 1946 by Polish militiamen who had immigrated after the war . The German town of Karnitz was renamed Karnice .

Attractions

The village has a church from the 15th century, rebuilt in the Baroque style in the 18th century, and a romantic chapel from the 19th century. Both belonged to the Protestant community until 1946.

The rich baroque furnishings of the church also include an organ , which was built around 1680. It is the only organ from the 17th century in Western Pomerania that has the original wind chests (valves unchanged) as well as essential parts of the action and the wedge bellows. The organ was built by either Aaron Thun from Kolberg or Balthasar Held from Stettin .

The organ was built into the Karnitz Church at the end of the 18th or beginning of the 19th century; where it comes from is unknown. Before it was installed in Karnitz, it may have been a two-manual organ that was reduced for installation. The disposition was also changed during the installation.

In 1945 the instrument was badly damaged. Later the side galleries were demolished and parts of the parapet turned by 90 ° were attached to the pedal towers.
