The Church of the Mother of God, Queen of Poland in Garbno ( German Lamgarben ) is a building from the first half of the 18th century. Until 1945 it was the church of the Protestant parish Lamgarben in East Prussia . Today it is the Catholic parish church in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
Geographical location
Garbno is located on the Guber River in the northern center of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . The provincial road 592 - former German Reichsstraße 135 - runs through the village, which connects the cities of Bartoszyce ( German Bartenstein ), Korsze (Korschen) and Kętrzyn (Rastenburg) and continues to Giżycko (Lötzen) . The nearest train station is Tołkiny (Tolksdorf) on the Białystok – Ełk – Korsze railway line .
Church building
There was a first church in Lamgarben in the middle of the 14th century. The tower from the first half of the 15th century still bears witness to this . In the years 1728 to 1732 the nave was replaced by a new building: a plastered hall with beveled corners, which the carpenter Christian Böttcher covered with a vault on the inside in 1740 . From 1818 to 1824 the church was completely restored after a hurricane on January 17, 1818, when the tower fell onto the roof vault. The master builder Felisch directed the repair work .
The interior of the church consisted of an altar , a richly decorated pulpit from 1740, balustrades from the second third of the 18th century with biblical representations and a crucifix made of linden wood from around 1500.
In 1830 the church received an organ . As we learned later, in an "inventory list of the budget ministry" from 1785 for Lamgarben a new organ was already built in 1760, which the organ builder Adam Gottlob Casparini carried out without, however, being able to find details about the instrument. The church bell consisted of three bells .
The nave and its furnishings were destroyed in the Second World War , but the church was rebuilt and modernized afterwards. Inside the room was spanned with a wooden trapezoidal ceiling. In addition, changes were made in accordance with the changed, because Catholic, use of the church.
Before the church is a holy water font of granite , which dates from the 15th century.
Church / parish
Evangelical
A church in Lamgarben was founded in the pre-Reformation period. With the introduction of the Reformation in East Prussia, the community became a Protestant denomination.
Church history
The parish of Lamgarben in the Rastenburg inspection was assigned the churches Schönfließ ( Kraskowo in Polish ) and Tolksdorf ( Tołkiny ) on June 11, 1528 . But already in 1603 these two churches had their own pastor and became independent, but connected parishes. In the 16./17. In the 19th century, two clergymen officiated at the Lamgarben church for a time.
The parish of Lamgarben had a total of 1850 parishioners in 1925, who lived in 20 villages, localities and residential areas. The patronage of the church was the responsibility of the manor owner von Lamgarben. Until 1945 the parish belonged to the church district Rastenburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .
Escape and expulsion of the local population put an end to the life of the Protestant parish in the place then called Garbno. Evangelical residents living here now belong to the parish in Kętrzyn in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
