The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin in Kumielsk is a building from the mid-19th century. Until 1945 it was a Protestant church for the East Prussian parish Kumilsko (1938–1945 Morgen ). It is now the parish church of the Roman Catholic parish of Kumielsk in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
Geographical location
Kumielsk is located south of the Polish state road 58 and can be reached from the town of Biała Piska ( German Bialla , 1938–1945 Gehlenburg ) via a side road. In addition, a side road ends in town, which branches off from state road 63 and leads here via Liski (Lisken) .
The location of the church is in the northern part of the village between the main road and Jezioro Kumielskie .
Church building
The first church in Kumilsko was mentioned in 1502. It survived the Tartar invasion in 1656/57, but burned down in 1720. The rebuilt church - for it the Königsberg organ builder Adam Gottlob Casparini made the organ in 1751 - was also destroyed by fire in 1849, except for the foundation walls.
In the years 1850 and 1851, a new building made of field stone was built using parts that were still usable . It was inaugurated on November 30, 1851. The elongated hall building had arched windows, a sacristy in the north and a vestibule in the south. The steeple with a pointed roof turret was added in 1874.
The interior of the church is covered by an open beamed ceiling. The altar and the pulpit are works of the 19th century using older carvings from around 1720. Two figures and two candle angels come from the previous church.
The church received an organ in 1860, made by master organ builder Johann Rohn from Wormditt (now Orneta in Polish ).
After 1945 the church was redesigned and adapted to the changed liturgical requirements as a Catholic parish church . It was re-consecrated and called Kościół Narodzenia Najświętszej Marii Panny (“ Church of the Birth of the Virgin ”).

Church history
There was already a church in Kumilsko in the pre-Reformation period. Soon after the Reformation was introduced in East Prussia , Lutheran clergy took over their duties here. In the 17th and 18th centuries, two pastors worked here at the same time. When the Gehsen church (now Jeże in Polish ) was founded in 1846 , some parish towns were re-parished from Kumilsko to there.
Until 1715 Kumilsko belonged to the Inspection Lyck (Polish Ełk ), later until 1945 to the church district Johannisburg (Polish Pisz ) in the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union . In 1925 the parish of Kumilsko had 3,736 parishioners who lived in more than 20 towns, villages and places. The state authorities were responsible for church patronage .
Flight and expulsion of the local population put an end to the life of the evangelical community in Kumilsko / Morgen. Protestant residents living here today belong to the parish in Biała Piska (Bialla , 1938–1945 Gehlenburg) , which is part of the parish of Pisz (Johannisburg) in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Roman Catholic
Before 1945 only very few Catholics lived in the Kumilsko region resp. Tomorrow. They were parish in the parish church in Johannisburg ( Polish Pisz ) in the deanery Masuria II (seat: Johannisburg) in the diocese of Warmia .
After 1945, new Polish citizens settled here, almost without exception of the Catholic denomination. They used the previously evangelical church as their place of worship. Since 1957 its own clergy have been installed here, and in 1962 Kumielsk was elevated to a parish. With the branch church in Rakowo (nobleman Rakowen (domain), 1938-1945 Raken) it belongs to the deanery Biała Piska in the diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .
