The Protestant church is a parish church of the Protestant parish founded in 1866, built in 1881/82 as a red brick building with neo-Gothic (buttresses, spire) and neo-Romanesque (round-arched windows) style elements. The Catholic parish church of the Catholic parish founded in 1938 was built in 1923/24 as a neo-Baroque plastered building on a high fieldstone base.
In order to ensure better pastoral care for the growing population, 23 new parishes with their own places of worship were founded in East Prussia between 1853 and 1893.[8] The Evangelical Lutheran parish of Warpuhnen was founded with a parish deed[9] of June 17, 1866 from 18 villages that had previously been part of the parishes of Bäslack, Rössel, Bischofsburg, Sorquitten, Sensburg and Seehesten. Warpuhnen belonged to the diocese of Sensburg in the Prussian administrative district of Gumbinnen (until 1905) and Allenstein (1905 to 1945) within the ecclesiastical province of East Prussia. The Protestant service initially took place in the schools of Warpuhnen and the surrounding towns. On June 17, 1881, the foundation stone for the new church building was laid, which was inaugurated on August 8, 1882.[10] The first pastor of the new church was Pastor Borkowski (1881–1885).[11] The service was held in German and Polish or Masurian, which was predominantly spoken by the local population at the time.[12] Until Masurian was banned as a church language at the end of 1939[13], services in Masurian were only held once a month by Pastor Erich Schimba, who also held the German-language service until 1945, due to the displacement of Masurian by (Low) German. After that, services were only allowed to be held in Polish, but the congregation insisted on continuing to sing the hymns in German. Pastoral care was provided from Sorquitten by the pastors of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland (Kościół Ewangelicko-Augsburski w Polsce) Alfred Jagucki (1914–2004) and Wilhelm Firla (1915–1990). As a result of war, flight, expulsion and resettlement of the German population, there is no longer a separate Protestant congregation in what is now Warpuny (unlike in nearby Sorkwity). While the parish had more than 2,000 members in the early 1950s (after over 4,000 before the Second World War), the number fell drastically after 1957 due to the possibility of resettlement and was only 16 when Pastor Mutschmann took office in 1986. The use and maintenance of the church, which today belongs to the Diocese of Masuria (Diecezja mazurska), is correspondingly difficult. On the initiative of the "Friends of Masuria" association, a celebratory service was held on April 24, 2016 to mark the 150th anniversary of the parish's founding. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warpuny#Evangelische_Kirchengemeinde
