Kościół Zmartwychwstania Pańskiego w Kuślinie, Roman Catholic church in Kuślin, Poland
Dorfkirche Kuślin is a church building in the center of Kuślin village built with dark red bricks and a stone foundation. Its western tower has clock faces visible on three sides of the structure.
Built as a Protestant church, the foundation stone was laid on 22 June 1881 and the building was consecrated on 18 September 1883 by General Superintendent Wolfgang Friedrich Geß. After 1945 the former Protestant church became Roman Catholic and was renamed Zmartwychwstania Pańskiego (Resurrection Church); in 1946 the parish priest of Michorzewo, Bogdan Wąsowicz, consecrated it. In 1979 Archbishop Jerzy Stroba raised the pastoral centre to an independent parish.
The church was built as an Evangelical parish church and served that congregation until 1945; after the war, settlers from eastern Poland took over the village and the building became Catholic in 1946. The parish was raised to independence in 1979 by Archbishop Jerzy Stroba, who added the western part of Głuponie to its territory. A memorial stone donated by the Gmina Kuślin in 2022 at the former Evangelical cemetery, about 300 metres away on Parkowa Street, recalls the Protestant residents of Kuślin and the surrounding area.
The church is located in the village center near other municipal buildings and is easy to reach. It works well as a stop when walking through the settlement.
The former Protestant cemetery lies about 300 metres south of the church on Ulica Parkowa. It was used from 1888 to 1945 and remains as a tree-covered area; since 2022 a memorial stone donated by the Gmina Kuślin commemorates the Protestant residents of Kuślin and the surrounding area.
