Former Mennonite congregation. Former Olender prayer house. As of October 2024 - the roof has collapsed, and the area is fenced off. As of mid-2025 - it will likely be restored, as work is ongoing.

The historic Mennonite temple in Nowy Wymyśl was built in 1864 in the center of the town.

In the first half of the 19th century, there was a wooden Mennonite temple in Nowy Wymyśl, which burned down in 1845.

The founder of the square for the new temple and the material for its construction was Michael Loter. The building was ready in 1864. During World War I, it was devastated by the German army. The building was restored to full usability in 1924 using funds provided by Mennonites from the United States.

The building was built on a rectangular plan, single-storey, with a three-pitched roof. The interior included, among other things, the main assembly hall of the congregation, with eight windows. A window topped with a sharp arch was placed in the top of the roof. Above it is a metal cross.

After World War II, a club with a dance hall was established in the temple abandoned by the Mennonites. In the 1990s it housed a warehouse for the Herbapol company.

In 2014 it was entered on the list of historical monuments.

Now (end of March 2025) some work is being carried out here - I don't know if it's reconstruction or demolition.
