The Protestant parish of Wischniewen was founded in 1904. Until then, the parishes belonged to the parishes of Pissanitzen (1938 to 1945 Ebenfelde , Polish Pisanica ) and Ostrokollen (1938 to 1945 Scharfenrade , Polish Ostykół ).

The parish was incorporated into the church district of Lyck in the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The parish had no patronage and in 1925 had a total of 3,000 parish members who lived in a manageable church district.

Flight and expulsion of the local population made the life of the Protestant community no longer possible after 1945.
