The Church of Our Lady of the Mother Church in Baranowo is a building from the beginning of the 20th century. It served until 1945 as the central church for the Protestant parish of Barranowen (also Baranowen, 1938–1945 Hoverbeck) in East Prussia and is now the Catholic parish church of Baranowo in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
Geographical location
Baranowo is located in the southern center of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship on Polish state road 16 (formerly German Reichsstraße 127 ) between the cities of Mrągowo ( German Sensburg ) and Mikołajki (Nikolaiken) . The church is in the southeast of the village center in the south of the main street.
Church building
In 1907, Barranowen received its own Protestant church, which was inaugurated on the harvest festival (October 6th). The eclectic building stands on a small hill fortified by a stone wall. The tower with a hood and a choir is placed in front of the nave .
The exterior walls of the building are painted lightly. In the interior there is the altar with a screen (the original was replaced after 1945) is in the middle of the choir, with the baptismal font on the left . The pulpit was originally located at the right transition from the chancel to the nave . The entire nave is covered by a vaulted wooden ceiling.
After it was taken over by the Catholic Church after 1945, the building was structurally altered several times and designed according to the current liturgical purposes. The church now bears the name "Mary Mother of the Church".
Church / parish
Evangelical parish
Church history
The growing number of inhabitants made it necessary to provide church relief in the region between Sensburg and Nikolaiken. In 1902 a separate parish was formed in Barranowen (renamed "Hoverbeck" from 1938 to 1945), with the parish places being surrounded by the parishes of Sensburg and Nikolaiken . A parish district with more than 20 places or living spaces was created . In the first few years there was no church in Barranowen. Finally, on the harvest festival in 1907, a new church was put into service.
The parish of Barranowen was without church patronage . In 1925 it had a total of 2,700 parish members and until 1945 belonged to the parish of Sensburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union . Flight and expulsion of the local population put an end to Protestant church life in the place called Baranowo after 1945 . Few Protestant church members living here again today now belong to the church in Mikołajki within the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Catholic parish
Church history
Before 1945 very few Catholics lived in the Barranowen / Hoverbeck region. They were parish in the St. Adalbert Church in Sensburg , which belonged to the deanery Masuria II (seat: Johannisburg , Polish Pisz ) in the diocese of Warmia . After 1945, numerous new Polish citizens settled in Baranowo, almost all of whom were of the Catholic denomination and formed a church community here that used the previously Protestant church as their place of worship. In 1984 a Catholic parish was established in Baranowo. It is embedded in the Mikołajki deanery in the Ełk diocese of the Polish Catholic Church . The branch municipality in Zełwągi (Selbongen) is assigned .
