History
The local Gothic church was built in 1390.[5] In 1454, King Casimir IV Jagiellon incorporated the region to the Kingdom of Poland upon the request of the anti-Teutonic Prussian Confederation.[6] After the subsequent Thirteen Years' War (1454–1466), it became a part of Poland as a fief held by the Teutonic Knights until 1525,[7] and by Ducal Prussia afterwards.
From the 18th century it formed part of the Kingdom of Prussia, and from 1871 it was also part of the German Empire, within which it was located in the province of East Prussia. After Germany's defeat in World War II, in 1945, it passed to the Soviet Union. In the post-war period, the abandoned church gradually deteriorated.[5]
