The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Kalinowo is a reconstruction church made of Masurian granite stone and built in the 1920s . Until 1945 it was a Protestant church for the parish residents in the East Prussian village called "Kallinowen" (1938 to 1945: "Dreimühlen" ) and is now the parish church of the Roman Catholic parish of Kalinowo in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Geographical location

Kalinowo is located in the east of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , six kilometers from the border with the Podlasie Voivodeship (formerly the German-Polish border). The state road 16 runs through the village , into which the voivodship road 661 joins.

The location of the church is to the west of the roundabout at ul. Miachała / ul. Marii Konopnickiej / ul. Mazurska in the center of the village.

Church building

The first documentary mention of Kallinowens dates from 1499. In this context, a pastor Mathias in Calinowo was mentioned , which suggests that a church already existed here at that time. This church was destroyed at the latest when the Tatars invaded in 1656. Soon, however, the construction of a successor building began - a wooden church , which was consecrated in 1666. It was completely restored in 1910, but it perished on October 25, 1914 during the fighting in the First World War .

The reconstruction church in its present form was built between 1924 and 1926 according to plans by the Berlin architect Arthur Kickton . The inauguration took place on March 19, 1926. It was a building made of Masurian granite stone with a transverse tower in the east above the altar . The interior still consists of a main aisle and a south aisle with a gallery . The sanctuary is vaulted. The rest of the roof consists of a flat wooden ceiling with valuable paintings by the painter Ernst Fey from Berlin. The modern altar shrine - kept in old forms - is the work of a Munich sculptor and shows the crucified Christ with his mother Mary and the disciple Johannes. The pulpit is in the northeast corner across from the side gallery.

Until 1945 the church served as a Protestant church. Then it was taken over by the Roman Catholic Church, which redesigned it for the changed liturgical purposes and gave it the name “ Church of the Assumption ”.

Church history

Kallinowen was already a church village in pre-Reformation times. The Reformation soon found its way here, so that Lutheran clergy began their service here at the beginning of the 16th century . An additional parish office was set up between 1576 and 1906.

The parish Kallinowen with its numerous parish places belonged to the church district Lyck in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union until 1945 . In 1925 (census) it recorded 3,600 parishioners. The state authorities were responsible for church patronage .

After 1945, the evacuation and displacement of the local population brought the work of the Evangelical Church in Kalinowo to a standstill. Today only very few Protestant church members live here who are oriented towards the parish in the district town of Ełk (Lyck) , a branch of the parish in Pisz (Johannisburg) in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland .
