The Church of Our Lady of Częstochowa (Czestochowa; Polish: Kościół Matki Bożej Częstochowskiej ) in Lipie in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship - the former Arnhausen in Western Pomerania - is a sacred building made of field and brick stones in its foundations probably as early as 1462 in Gothic style . The parish church was Protestant until 1945 and has been Roman Catholic since 1946 .
Geographical location
Lipie is located in the north-eastern part of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship on a side road that connects the district towns of Białogard (Belgard) and Świdwin (Schivelbein) via Rąbino (Groß Rambin) . Rąbino is the nearest train station on the Stargard Szczeciński – Gdańsk railway line .
The church stands in the western part of the village near the main road and not far from the Mogilica (Muglitz) river .
Church building
Construction and building history
In 1462 the foundation walls of St. Gertrud von Nivelles consecrated church. Field stones and bricks formed the masonry of the building, which was built in the Gothic style and was subject to multiple additions and alterations during its existence - like the nave in the second half of the 16th century, which in its current form was probably in 1586 originated. This is indicated by the barely legible words on the south side of the church tower ... PASTOR. ECC ... 1586 of a setting stone, which refer to the no longer recognizable name of the pastor, but then to the builder, whereby the landowner Eccard (also: Egkart) von Manteuffel is remembered, who was buried in the church in 1613. In 1816 a choir was added on the east side .
The church tower has an ogival closed portal that is set off four times to the outside and once at right angles to the inside. In the uppermost tower floors there are two pairs of flat arched panels or windows on each side. The nave and tower have a simple cornice. The windows are vaulted with arches. On the south side there is a panel in the wall that is covered with coupled round arches. The south portal of the church has no profile.
In the interior of the church, the buttresses end under the main cornice and are sloped to the side and to the front. The equipment is very simple today. Even before 1945 it was kept very simple. At that time the pulpit stood over the altar and was dated from 1782. It had baroque leaf ornamentation carved out of wood. An unadorned little chair by the door had the inscription: The Fr. Past. Engelcken had this Stull built in honor of God in 1731 . The church's furnishings also included a communion chalice, donated by Else von Manteuffel in 1532.

In 1891 the church received a new organ after it had been repainted inside.
After 1945 the entire church building was given gray plaster. The roof, initially provided with sheet metal, was re-covered with tiles.

The chancel of the church is now lined with two lateral apostles and a picture of Christ on the choir wall. On the left is a picture of Our Lady of Czestochowa , to whom the church building was consecrated in 1946 . The altar consists of a table surface placed on a stone. The pulpit on the right appears to be the remodeled piece from 1782. The church pews have been renewed and the old pews replaced. A brass chandelier hangs on the ceiling in the middle of the nave.
Bells
The Arnhausen church originally had two bells ringing . The larger of them (eight hundred pounds, diameter: 90 cm) was cast in 1616. It had the following inscription: Margareta v. Blankenb. Egkardt Manteuffel s. postponed widow, along with her sons Christian George Churt and Egkart Gebröder Manteuffel the cartridges. Ernst Johann Krüger pastor. Godt Der Here schop mi. Joachim Karstede ghodt mi.de Blessing of Hern si bi mi.anno 1616 .
The smaller bell (four and a half hundred pounds) was the work of master bell founder Strehl in Kolberg (Polish: Kołobrzeg) from the year 1852. Its inscription read: Come to me, everyone who is troublesome and laden, I want to refresh you. Patron of the church Hermann Müller. Pastor Fritz Schmidt . It was rung for the last time on June 10, 1917 and the following week it was delivered to Polzin (Polish: Połczyn-Zdrój) to be melted down and used for ammunition purposes.
In 1925 the church received a replacement. At the request of the Arnhausen community, master bell founder Schilling made a new bell in Apolda, Thuringia . It was consecrated in a service on Thanksgiving Day (October 4, 1925). Their inscription reads: Land, Land, Land, hear the word of the Lord! .
Today the ringing consists of just a bell again. The other fell victim to World War II .
Parish
Pre-Reformation
Already in the pre-Reformation period, Arnhausen was a parish with a large parish belonging to it . The place belonged to the area of the diocese of Cammin . The last bishop of this diocese before the Reformation was introduced in Pomerania was Erasmus von Manteuffel-Arnhausen (around 1475-1544) , who was born in Arnhausen .
Evangelical
Church history
Around 1538 the residents of Arnhausen converted to the Lutheran creed. At that time , Benedikt Zarne (also: Sarnow, Zorn) , who was still active as a chaplain in the Jungfrauenkloster in Köslin (Polish: Koszalin) in 1519, was pastor at St. Gertrud's Church in Arnhausen. The renovation or new construction of the church in 1568 also fell during his service.
Until 1945 the parish existed in Arnhausen with its extensive parish. In addition to the parish, three other branch churches were looked after, each of which formed its own parish: Langen (Polish: Łęgi), Retzin (Rzecino) and Zwirnitz (Świerznica). Each parish had its own patronage : in Arnhausen at last the 44 partial owners of the estate, in Langen, Retzin and Zwirnitz the respective lordship. The parish election, however, lay solely with the patronage in Arnhausen.
The parish in Arnhausen with its subsidiary communities was part of the Belgard church district (Polish: Białogard) in the church province of Pomerania of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union until 1945 . The consistory of the province of Pomerania was in Szczecin .
Since 1903 the parish of Groß Rambin (Polish: Rąbino) had to be supplied from Arnhausen. Special parish vicars were appointed here, during the Nazi era auxiliary preachers of the Confessing Church , whom the then pastor Egbert Zieger had brought in. This led to conflicts with the consistory, which was dominated by the German Christians , as well as with the Belgard superintendent . Before 1945, the parish in Arnhausen was responsible for the care of 3,858 parishioners, of whom 1,718 belonged to Groß Rambin and 2,140 to Arnhausen (Arnhausen: 960; Langen: 462, Retzin: 508, Zwirnitz: 210). Because of the early military deployment of all young pastors in the church district, a vacancy also arose in Arnhausen / Groß Rambin. Here the pastor's wife Gerda Zieger took over her husband's service with special permission from the church and later also from the Russian and Polish administrations.
Flight and expulsion of the local population made church work in the parish of Arnhausen almost impossible. Today an almost exclusively Catholic population lives here . Evangelical church members are now assigned to the parish in Koszalin . She belongs to the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland and also oversees the regular evangelical church services (partly in German) that take place in the George Church in Białogard (Belgard).

Church history
Before 1945 the parish church responsible for the few Catholics in Arnhausen was the Herz-Jesu-Kirche in Belgard (Polish: Białogard). As a result of the Second World War and due to the flight and displacement of the local population, many Polish citizens came to the Arnhausen region, almost all of whom belonged to the Roman Catholic Church . From January 7, 1946, they used the previously Protestant St. Gertrud Church for their purposes, after it was newly consecrated and dedicated to the Blessed Mother of Częstochowa (Czestochowa) . The pastoral care initially took place from outside. On May 1, 2006, a separate parish was finally established in Lipie , which belongs to the Dean's Office Połczyn-Zdrój (Bad Polzin) in the diocese of Koszalin-Kołobrzeg (Köslin-Kolberg) of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .
The parish of Lipie has 1,900 parishioners. You live in the parish and also in the two subsidiary communities Nielep (Nelep) and Rzecino (Retzin) , where the once Protestant churches now also serve as Catholic places of worship. In addition, two outlying villages with places of worship have to be supplied: Jezierzyce (Jeseritz) and Dąbrowa Białogardzka (Damerow) . In the area of the parish of Lipie, two groups of a sisterhood have settled in the Wspólnota Dzieci Łaski Bożej (WDŁB). They have their houses in Lipie and in Role (Röhlshof) , each with its own chapel. The parish of Lipie is designed for a parish office. A chaplain (DPS) in Modrzewiec (Heyde) has been supporting the pastor since 1983 .
