history

In 1180, what was then Wischow was awarded to the Premonstratensian Abbey of Belbuck , northwest of the town then known as Treptow and which is now part of the town. In 1224 the Duchess Anastasia, widow of the Pomeranian Duke Bogislaw I, transferred Treptow Castle and 23 villages to the Belbuck monastery to maintain a nunnery to be founded. In 1234 the abbot Otto von Belbuck from "Bethelehem", a sister monastery of the Premonstratensian monastery Mariëngaarde (German Mariengarten ) near Hallum in Friesland , succeeded in winning nuns for the new monastery.

The Marienbusch Premonstratensian Monastery was built on the Wischow desert (now Wyszkowo, also Wyszków). Around 1286 the nuns moved their monastery to Treptow Castle and received the Nikolaikirche there as a monastery church.

Wischow Church

The ruins of the Wischow Church

The monastery church, consecrated to St. Marie, St. Nicholas and All Saints, was already in place in 1235. The brick church, which was expanded a short time later by a lower nave, dates from the 15th century.

After the Premonstratensian Sisters left, many pilgrims - especially fishermen - visited the church as a place of pilgrimage to Mary. In front of a miraculous image of the Madonna, people sought healing.

A parish had existed in Wischow since 1291 - outside the walls of the city of Treptow. In 1399 there was a parish connection with the parish in Zarben (now Polish: Sarbia).

With the Reformation the miraculous image was removed from the church - the reformer Johann Bugenhagen was the first to report on the pilgrimages - and it became a Protestant church. It belonged as a branch church with the places Gummin (today Polish: Gąbin), Gumminshof (Mirosławice) and Lewetzow (Lewice) to the parish of Behlkow (Bielikowo) in the parish of Treptow on the Rega (Trzebiatów) in the later eastern district of the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . In 1940 the Wischow Church had 575 parishioners from 1455 in the entire parish. The last clergyman was Pastor Max Krummheuer .

In 1945 the church was destroyed. As a reminder, the old name was retained from 1948 by official decree, which is now limited to the ruins of the church.
