Ok, sometimes you pass a location that may not completely deserve a report on it's own, but well, since you're there, you decide to quickly take some snaps.​

Located only a few hundred meters from "The Chapel" in a tiny village with only 400 people we found this place by accident.​

A bit of history;​

In 1744 a wooden church was build for the evangelic community of Alt Jäschwitz. For some reason, in 1842 the wooden church was replaced by a new concrete church and was converted into a Lutheran church. They finished building the new church in 1844.​

In 1945, after the war, the church was abandoned simply because the Polish people that moved back into this area were catholic and didn't want to pray in a German church.​

Nowadays it's in a state beyond repair, but some tiny details inside still give you the impression that it once must have been a nice place.​

It's on the list of monuments in Poland, but it's unlikely it will ever get restored to it's former glory.​

Below two pictures taken in 1917 & 1919, showing the church and it's former beauty;​

Thanks guys!

Yeah, it's very unfortunate, all those evangelic churches in this region. There are a couple more around, some in better shape, others in worse conditions.. One thing they all have in common, it's highly unlikely they will ever get restored... :cry: Simply a money issue..
