Church building

Protestant services have been held in Kurwien since 1905, which, in the absence of a church, took place in a prayer room. It was not until 1927 that a chapel could be built. After 1945 a new, now Catholic, church was built in Karwica.

Church history

Until 1908, Kurwien was incorporated into the parish Turośl ( Polish: Turośl ) before the place became the seat of its own parish office . Although the construction of a church was still a long time coming, the residents of the parish towns marked out from the parish Turoselels found a new spiritual home here. Until 1945 the parish Kurwien was part of the church district Johannisburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . Flight and expulsion of the local population put an end to the Protestant parish in Kurwien in 1945. Evangelical church members living here today orientate themselves towards the parish in the district town of Pisz in the diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
