The Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Barciany ( German Barten ) is a building from the 14th century. Until 1945 it was the central church of the Protestant parish Barten in East Prussia . Today it is a Roman Catholic parish church in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
Geographical location
Barciany am Flüsschen Liebe ( Polish: Liwna ) is located in the northern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship on the voivodeship roads DW 590 and DW 591 .
The location of the church is southwest of the main street (DW 591).
Church building
The Barten church probably dates from the last quarter of the 14th century, even if a source from the 16th century puts it between 1325 and 1330. Extensions were later added to the choir-less brick building on a field stone foundation : the sacristy in the south and a vestibule in the north. The east gable was rebuilt in 1714, the additional southern porch with a new ribbed cross vault was built in 1783. The massive church tower from the 16th century was rebuilt from 1729 to 1741 by master mason Hünchen and carpenter Effried from Königsberg (Prussia) and received the roof in 1804.
The originally vaulted interior of the church was given a flat wooden ceiling. Parts of Gothic and Baroque wall paintings could be exposed. The altar with the coat of arms of the von Rautter family dates from 1643 and, like the pulpit from 1664, is a simple carving. The stalls with painted fans also date from the 17th century. The baptismal angel , created around 1750, is remarkable . Tsarina Elizabeth of Russia the church to two chandeliers made of brass have given, signed with a double eagle , made a 1699, the other "reno. 1751 ".
The organ of the Königsberg master organ builder Adam Gottlob Casparini from 1749/50 was single manual and had twelve stops, but without a pedal. The latter was only supplemented with four registers in 1861 by the organ builder Johann Rohn from Wormditt ( Orneta in Polish ). The instrument had previously been extensively restored in 1820 by organ builder Johann Scherweit . In 1934 the organ was unplayable and was repaired by organ builder Emanuel Kemper . The keyboard that was exchanged was retained and could thus be used in 2003 for the reconstruction of the Casparini organ of the Catholic Church of the Holy Spirit in Vilnius ( Vilnius in Lithuanian ).
The church bell consists of three bells .
In 1989/90 the church was fundamentally renovated and redesigned according to the changed Roman Catholic customs. It is dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary .
Parish
The Barten Church is of pre-Reformation origin and became Lutheran with the introduction of the Reformation in East Prussia .
Evangelical
Church history
As early as 1528 a Protestant clergyman was officiating at the church in Barten. From the end of the 16th century until the Second World War , a second pastor did additional work. The parish belonged to the inspection Rastenburg ( Polish Kętrzyn ), then until 1945 to the church district Rastenburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The parish of Barten had 3880 parishioners in 1925. They lived in a district comprising the town of Barten and around 20 localities.
Escape and expulsion of the local population temporarily put an end to the evangelical community in what was then called Barciany. Today there is again a small community with its own chapel. It is a subsidiary of the parish in Kętrzyn in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Roman Catholic
Before 1945 there were only a few Catholics in the Barten region. In 1925 there were only 24 in the city of Barten, compared to 1,293 Protestant church members. They were parish in the church Rastenburg in the deanery Masuren II (seat: Johannisburg ) in the diocese of Warmia at that time .
With the resettlement of mainly Polish citizens after 1945, the number of Catholic residents in the Barciany area rose sharply. A Roman Catholic community was formed, which claimed the previously evangelical church and made it its parish church . The parish named after the Immaculate Heart of Mary ( parafia in Polish ) is now part of the Kętrzyn II deanery in what is now the Archdiocese of Warmia . In addition to this parish, there is also a Greek Catholic parish in Barciany .
