The St. Adalbert Church in Nowy Dwór , built in 1902, was the central church of the Protestant parish Neuhof in the East Prussian district of Neidenburg until 1945 . Today it is a Roman Catholic parish church in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
Geographical location
Nowy Dwór is located in the southern center of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship on the state road 58 between Szczytno ( German Ortelsburg ) and Jedwabno (1938 to 1945 Gedwangen ). The church is located in the center of the village and is on the east side of the high street from Dzierzki ( Dziersken , 1936 to 1945 Althöfen ) to Burdąg (Burdungen) .

Church building
The Neuhof village church was put into service on October 2nd, 1902 - four years after the Neuhof parish was founded . It is a red brick building with a high tower over the gable end. The interior of the hall church is covered with a flat vaulted ceiling. On the east side there is a carved and richly decorated pulpit altar , which probably dates from the beginning of the 17th century. The rest of the equipment is simple.
The organ was made by the master organ builder Carl Novak in Königsberg (Prussia) from Bohemia .
During the war, the church was largely undamaged. In the post-war years, the previously Protestant church was rededicated into a Catholic church and named after St. Adalbert ( Wojciech in Polish ). In the fall of 1979 the church burned down. Presumably children had played with fire there. The roof structure, the organ and some of the benches were destroyed. The church was restored in a simplified form.

Church history
The Protestant parish Neuhof was founded in 1898. As early as 1895, auxiliary preachers were employed here to take care of the growing population. The places for the new parish were branched off from the parishes of Jedwabno (1938 to 1945 Gedwangen ), Passenheim ( Pasym in Polish ) and Ortelsburg (Szczytno) . Until 1945 it belonged to the church district Neidenburg (Polish Nidzica ) in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . In 1925 there were 1,800 parishioners. The church was patronized and there was parish election .
Due to the flight and displacement of the local population between 1945 and 1950, the Protestant parish ceased to exist. The church building was taken over by the Roman Catholic Church. Protestant church members living in the Nowy Dwór region today adhere to the parish in Jedwabno within the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Roman Catholic
Before 1945 the Catholic minority of the Neuhof region was incorporated into the parish in Jedwabno (1938 to 1945 Gedwangen ). After 1945, however, many new citizens settled here, mostly Poles of Catholic denomination, and claimed the previously Protestant church as a church. Finally, on July 1, 1998, the Roman Catholic parish of Św. Wojciecha erected. It belongs to the dean's office Pasym (Passenheim) in the Archdiocese of Warmia .
