Rare historic church property near Olsztyn

Nestled in the historically rich landscapes of former East Prussia, not far from the city of Olsztyn, lies a unique architectural ensemble with cultural depth and significant potential: the historic core of the former church village of Opaleniec – once known as Flammberg. 

At its heart stands a listed Evangelical-Augsburg church built in neo-Gothic style in 1878, flanked by additional structures inspired by Gothic architecture that complement the historical character of the site, though not themselves listed. 

The buildings are in good overall condition. The church and the adjacent residence are connected by a private, enclosed courtyard. The residential building, featuring a distinctive ornamental tower, spans three floors and offers approximately 430 sqm of usable space. 

The partly fenced plot is surrounded by mature trees and shrubs, with two gated entrances. The property is connected to the local infrastructure network, including electricity, water and sewage.

Opaleniec, located near Chorzele on national road DK57, lies on the route from Warsaw to the Masurian Lakes and today forms part of the northern Mazovian Voivodeship.

A valid building permit exists for a range of future uses. With an interior height of around 9 to 10 metres, the church – together with the adjoining buildings – presents a rare opportunity on the Polish real estate market: whether as a distinctive private residence, a centre for the arts and culture, or a gastronomic-touristic venture with historical flair.
