Church building
From 1890, planning and construction work for the construction of a Protestant church in Baitkowen, which could then be inaugurated in 1895. The result was a building in neo-Gothic style with yellow bricks, set off by red bricks on the windows and entrance portals. The lower part of the church tower in front of it and the foundations under the windows are made of field stones. These can also be found on the east apse , on the south side of which a sacristy building is attached.
Since 1946, the church has been used by the Roman Catholic Church , which has redesigned the interior according to the changed liturgical purposes. Today it is called Kościół Matki Bożej Różańcowej ( Church of Our Lady of the Rosary ).

Church history
From 1891 Baitkowen was a church village, even if it did not initially have a church. The parish that belongs to it was created by re-parsing places from the parishes of Lyck ( Polish Ełk ), Ostrokollen (1938 to 1945 Scharfenrade , Polish Ostrokół ) and Drygallen (1938 to 1945 Drigelsdorf , Polish Drygały ).
Until 1945 the parish of Baitkowen belonged to the church district of Lyck in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . It had no patronage and in 1925 had a total of 2,770 parishioners who lived in more than twenty villages, towns and places of residence in the districts of Lyck and Johannisburg .
Flight and expulsion of the local population brought the life of the evangelical community in the village now called Bajtkowo to a standstill. The few Protestant church members living here today stick to the parish in Ełk (Lyck) , a subsidiary of the parish in Pisz ( Johannisburg in German ) in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Until 1945, the few Catholics living in Baitkowen and Baitenberg were incorporated into the Roman Catholic Church of St. Adalbert Lyck in the Masurian dean's office II (seat: Johannisburg ) in the Diocese of Warmia . Due to the resettlement of Polish citizens, especially from eastern Poland, a Catholic community was formed in Bajtkowo, which from 1946 onwards used the previously evangelical church for its own services. Since 1970 there has been a separate parish here, the Parafia pw.Matki Bożej Różańcowej . She belongs to the deanery Ełk - Matki Bożej Fatimskiej in the diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .
