Church building
In the village there is also a Protestant Gothic church, a hall building with a west tower. It was built in the 4th quarter of the 14th century at the latest. The facade design points to a construction works in Warmia. On the north wall is the small, very impressive burial chapel of the von der Groeben family, which was built around 1730. Their design is attributed to the Prussian court architect Joachim Schultheiß von Unfriedt. The interior of the church has retained the character of a court church. The patronage gallery from the beginning of the 17th century is decorated with a rich coat of arms.
In a niche on the north wall stands the tomb with a stone statue of Count Friedrich von der Groeben, which was created by the Königsberg sculptor Johann Georg Pörtzel in 1712/13. The grave flag that once hung on this tomb is now kept in the museum in Rastenburg. Extensive late-Gothic wall paintings (around 1500) on the long walls of the church. The main altar consists of Gothic and Mannerist elements. On the altar wings there are carved scenes of the Annunciation and the homage of the three kings as well as six half-figure statues of the apostles (early 15th century).
Between 1528 and 1945, the Groß Schwansfeld Church was a Protestant church. It was then expropriated in favor of the Catholic Church and was consecrated as Kościół Matki Boskiej Zwycięskiej .
Parish
Groß Schwansfeld was already a church village in the pre-Reformation period. The Reformation arrived in 1528. At that time the parish was connected to Falkenau ( Sokoloca in Polish ), but separated again in 1533 and assigned to Langheim (Lankiejmy) until 1538 , when it became independent again. Before 1945, that belonged to the parish of Great Schwanfeld to Kirchenkreis Friedland (now Russian Prawdinsk ) located in Kirchenkreis Bartenstein (now Polish Bartoszyce ) has been renamed. As a result, it was incorporated into the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .
Due to flight and displacement as a result of the Second World War , the number of Protestant church members fell considerably. Instead, Catholics moved into the village, took over the church and founded their own parish in 1994, which, together with the branch parish in Kinkajmy (Kinkeim), belongs to the Deanery Sępopol (Schippenbeil) in the Archdiocese of Warmia of the Catholic Church in Poland. Protestant church members living here are now assigned to the parish in Bartoszyce (Bartenstein) , which in turn is a subsidiary parish of Kętrzyn (Rastenburg) in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .
