Church building

Today's church is the third house of God in Rosengarten resp. Radzieje. While the first two from the time of the order and from 1673 had to be broken off due to dilapidation, the current one survived the two world wars and is still used for worship today. It is an octagonal plastered building with a flat tent roof and a wooden turret. The plan of the church was given by the future King Friedrich Wilhelm IV after his father, King Friedrich Wilhelm III. had already financed a lion's share of the costs with 1,000 thalers. Some old carvings from the previous churches have been preserved in the furnishings. Until 1945 the church was a Protestant house of worship, now it is called the “ Christ the King Church ” and is a Roman Catholic parish church .

Evangelical

Rosengarten was already a church village in the pre-Reformation period. With the introduction of the Reformation , it became a Lutheran house of worship with a large parish with twenty villages, towns and places to live. In 1925 the parish of Rosengarten had 2,900 parishioners, and 250 parishioners came from the parish of Doben ( Doba in Polish ) for pastoral care . Until 1945 it belonged to the church district Angerburg in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .

Flight and expulsion of the local population as a result of the war let church life in the village or parish now called Radzieje wither. Today only a few Protestant church members live here who support the parish in Węgorzewo (Angerburg) in the parish Giżycko (Lötzen) or the equally distant parish church in Kętrzyn (Rastenburg) , both of which belong to the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland belong.

Catholic

Before 1945 there were only a few Catholic residents in and around Rosengarten . They were parish in the parish church of the Good Shepherd in Angerburg in the Diocese of Warmia . Today, the majority of the population of Radzieje is of the Catholic denomination, which the once Protestant local church now uses as its parish church under the name " Christ the King's Church" . She belongs to the deanery Węgorzewo in the Diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland .
