The Church of the Mother of God, Queen of Poland in Straduny ( German Stradaunen ) is a building from the first half of the 18th century. Until 1945 it was the Protestant church for the East Prussian parish Stradaunen; today it is the Roman Catholic parish church of Straduny in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
Geographical location
Straduny is located on the river Elk ( Polish Ełk ), seven kilometers north of the district town of Ełk (Lyck) in the east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . The Polish state road 65 (former German Reichsstraße 132 ) runs through the village .
The location of the church is north of the river Elk in the eastern center of the village at ul. Mikołaja Kopernika.
Church building
Already in the pre-Reformation period there was a church in Stradaunen, probably a wooden church , which is said to have been consecrated to St. Leonhard . However, this burned with large parts of the village in 1736.
A new building followed, which was completed in 1738. It was a choirless field stone building with transept-like extensions and a tower in front . The interior received a flat ceiling. There were galleries on the sides . The pulpit altar was a work from 1845 in which older parts had been recycled. A baptismal angel came from the 17th century, eleven oval pictures from the 18th century depicting Christ and his disciples .
The organ was installed in the church by Adam Gottlob Casparini in 1742 , who, however, used an older instrument for this, which is known from the Ev. Church at Marggrabowa . It is adorned with a canopy crown from around 1670. After it was set up, it had 12 stops on one manual . In 1922 Bruno Goebel built a new organ with two manuals, a pedal and 15 stops. This instrument with its historical prospectus from around 1670 has been preserved to this day.
Three bells , the set of bells of the church together.
In 1923, the church painter Fey from Berlin painted the interior of the church.
The church was a Protestant house of worship until 1945 , after which it was expropriated in favor of the Roman Catholic Church. This rededicated the building and gave it the name Kościół Matki Bożey Królowej Polski ("Church of the Mother of God, Queen of Poland" ( Mother of God Church )). Previously, structural changes had been made to the interior according to the new liturgical use of the church.
A painting of the crucifixion of Jesus made in the style of Albrecht Dürer from around 1570, which previously had its place in the tower hall, comes from an old time . There are also tombstones from the 16th and 17th centuries of members of the von Glaubitz , von Packmohr and von Lehndorff families .
Parish
Evangelical
Stradaunen was already a church village in the pre-Reformation period. The Reformation arrived here at the beginning of the 16th century , when Lutheran clergymen began their service in the church. The parish Stradaunen belonged until 1945 to the parish of elk in the ecclesiastical province of East Prussia the Protestant Church of the Old Prussian Union . The patronage was previously the responsibility of the king, then the state authorities.
In 1925 the Stradaunen parish had 3,050 parishioners who lived in a spacious parish area. Flight and expulsion of the local population brought Protestant church life to a standstill for a long time.
Today, however, a few Protestant church members live in Straduny. You stick to the parish in the town of Ełk (Lyck) , a branch parish of the parish in Pisz (Johannisburg) in the Masuria diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
