The church of St. Joseph is a building from the first years of the 17th century. Until 1994 it was a Protestant church, until 1945 the center of the East Prussian parish of Aweyden. Today it is the parish church of the Roman Catholic parish of Nawiady, founded in 1989 in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
Geographical location
Nawiady ( German Aweyden ) is 18 kilometers south of the district town of Mrągowo (German Sensburg ) in the southern center of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . The state road 59 , which connects Giżycko (Lötzen) and Mrągowo with Rozogi (Friedrichshof) not far from the border with the Masovian Voivodeship , runs through the village . There is no train connection.
The church is in the southern part of the village, northeast of the main street.
Church building
A church was mentioned in Aweyden as early as 1437. Thus it was the oldest church in all of Masuria and came from the time of the order . Between 1600 and 1603 a new building was built that has been preserved to this day: a plastered, choir-free field stone building with a staggered east gable. In 1670 the sacristy with a charming volute gable was added to the east , and the west tower with the wooden superstructure followed in 1687. Extensive restoration work took place in 1881 and 1933/34.
The interior of the nave was originally covered with a wooden vault - a mezzanine topped with a trapezoidal section. The former pulpit altar was assembled from individual parts from the beginning of the 17th century and was later replaced by a simple altar table and a pulpit to the left of the altar. The old pulpit now serves as the substructure for the new altar. The middle section of the old winged altar, a trinity group, is missing . The wings are painted with the figures of the apostles on the outside and scenes from the Passion of Jesus Christ on the inside .
The christening angel was created around 1700. It was painted with bright colors after 1945.
In 1764 the ornate door of the sacristy was built, and in 1806 the church received an organ .
The square tower is attached to the west side of the church. Its two-storey substructure has Gothic shapes, the upper part is a boarded timber frame with a tent-shaped pan roof . Inside, a brick spiral staircase leads up to the belfry with the originally two bells .
After 1945 the church was still used by the evangelical community. In the 1980s, the Catholics rented the building, then finally bought it in 1994. The interior in particular was adapted to the changed liturgical customs, but the church was still available for Protestant services. After its rededication, it bears the name of St. Joseph .

Church history
The Reformation took hold in the church in Aweyden, which was mentioned in 1437 as early as 1525 . Initially the parish belonged to the Rastenburg inspection (in Polish: Kętrzyn ), then until 1945 to the parish of Sensburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union . In 1925 the parish had about 7,000 parishioners who lived in an area encompassing more than twenty localities. As early as 1613, two clergymen were officiating here at the same time, and later auxiliary preachers were also appointed to cope with the work on the ever-increasing number of parishioners. At the beginning of the 20th century, plans matured to relieve the Aweyden parish in both Peitschendorf ( Piecki in Polish ) and in Langendorf ( Dłużec in Polish ) to found new parishes . In 1934 this plan could be implemented in Peitschendorf, but not for Langendorf until 1945.
In 1937 the community celebrated its 500th birthday.
Because of the flight and displacement of the local population , church work in the village, now called Nawiady , collapsed after 1945 . An evangelical congregation was able to continue to exist here with only very few members, reinforced by believers from the surrounding area, which also owned the church until 1994, but which was then sold to the Catholic congregation that had existed here since 1989. Nawiady is now a subsidiary of the evangelical parish Mrągowo in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
Historic Evangelical Cemetery

In Nawiady the Protestant cemetery from German times has been preserved. It has been a listed building since 2004. The last burial took place in 1999, when the daughter of the registrar Friedrich Alexander Zywietz (born 1858, died 1933), who was in office in Aweyden until 1933, was buried here with a death pass from Germany because of her last will. The graves of Friedrich Alexander Zywietz and his daughter Maria Großkopf, born Wilhelmine Marie Auguste Zywietz, are next to each other.
On May 12, 2007, a memorial stone was placed in the cemetery with the Polish-German inscription:

Catholic
Before 1945 there were very few Catholics in Aweyden and the surrounding area. In 1905, out of 660 inhabitants in the village, only six were Catholic. The place was incorporated into the parish Kobulten ( Polish Kobułty ) until 1945 , which was most recently assigned to the Deanery Bischofsburg (Polish Biskupiec ) in what was then the diocese of Warmia .
After 1945, many new Polish citizens settled in Nawiady, almost all of whom were Catholic. They rented the Protestant church for their services in the 1980s and finally bought it in 1994.
