| Wionczemin Lutheran Church and school, now abandoned. This church was built in 1934 (some sources suggest 1938), replacing a previous chapel that had been seriously damaged in a 1924 flood. This church did not have a long history as the community was previously served by the church in Gabin. - photo courtesy of Annegret Krause |
