About "The dilapidated and abandoned Chapel in Poland"
by Truus Nijland
About the artwork
Built between 1796 and 1797, this Protestant church was designed by Carl Langhans Gottard, the architect who also designed the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. The exterior of the church is not that interesting, but the interior must have been simply stunning; a magnificent altar, immaculate white floors, a majestic organ, two huge oval balconies and a wooden baptismal font in the centre with a beautiful crystal chandelier above it.
The church has not been used for rituals or church services since 1945. When the church was built, the country was part of Germany and the people living there were mostly Protestant. When the region was returned to Poland at the end of World War II, the Polish people who came to live there were mainly Catholic. The locals lost interest in maintaining it and it gradually began to fall apart.
The building is now almost beyond repair. The tower is completely gone, the floors are gone and the roof has even more holes than tiles. The cost to repair the roof has been estimated at around one million euros. With no one willing to pay that price, it is unlikely that the church will ever be restored to its former glory.
