Former Evangelical church from 1938, now Catholic, dedicated to Our Lady of Częstochowa. The pretty church, with a representation of the martyr priest Jerzy Popiełuszko, has Sunday Masses 8:00 and 11:00.
Groß Schiemanen was part of the Ortelsburg church until a separate parish was established in 1909, but services were held in the school until the new church was consecrated in 1938. Until 1945, Groß Schiemanen belonged to the East Prussia ecclesiastical province of the Church of the Old Prussian Union. Flight and expulsion of the local population ended the Protestant parish. Members living here today belong to the Szczytno church in the Diocese of Masuria of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland.
Originally this region was inhabited by pagan Prussians. From 1243 the area belonged to the Teutonic Order. After the Second Peace of Thorn in 1466 it became part of the Duchy of Prussia. In 1525 Reformation was introduced. A May 29 1682 document stated that "tar distiller Matthäus Lissen had asked for the old privilege of June 15 1678 to be renewed and that a place completely cleared out by the ash distillery, with only dried and frozen wood of 20 Huben by eye, had been granted to him to establish a new village". In 1685 Johann Wlochatz was granted a privilege to run an inn. In 1777 the cholera killed a large part of the population. Ten years later there were 30 farmers in the village.
After 1701, this region became part of the Kingdom of Prussia, later of the Province of East Prussia. 1818 to 1945 Groß Schiemanen belonged to Ortelsburg, Allenstein district. In the 1920 referendum, 773 voted to remain part of Germany, with no votes for Poland.
In 1924, a memorial to the fallen of the First World War was erected in Groß Schiemanen. At the beginning of the Second World War, an operational air base of the Luftwaffe was built nearby.
It was captured by the Red Army on January 25 1945. After the war, Groß Schiemanen became part of the People's Republic of Poland and its name was given the Polish form "Szymany". Today, the village is the seat of a schoolmaster's office (Polish Sołectwo) in the rural community of Szyzctno (Ortelsburg) in the Szczycieński powiat (Ortelsburg district), which until 1998 belonged to the Olsztyn Voivodeship, and since then to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szymany_(Szczytno)
