During the Reformation, a wooden church was built in Lötzen. [20] They were replaced by large, solid churches in 1633 and 1709, both of which, however, fell victim to the flames. The current church was built in the years 1826 to 1827, [21] in a classicist style that was exposed to neoclassical influence during a major renovation in 1881. The old furnishings are still almost completely preserved, [22] for example the altarpiece with the "Inviting Christ" by Carl Gottfried Pfannschmidt or the baptismal font, an oval basin carried by a putto, which was made around 1750 and from the parish church of Pestlin Polish Postolino) comes from West Prussia. The organ is a work of the Kemper Orgelbau company from 1935, restored in 2011 by master organ builder Andrzej Kowalski, while the tower clock dates from 1881 and was made in the tower clock factory J. F. Weule in Bockenem (State of Hanover).

The location of the church is the old market in Lötzen, today's Plac Grunwaldzki in Giżycko. Source Wikipedia
