Kościół Najświętszego Serca Pana Jezusa w Ełku, Neo-Gothic church in Ełk, Poland.
The Sacred Heart Church is a Neo-Gothic building in Ełk with a tall tower rising prominently above the town. The interior contains four side altars and stained glass windows depicting scenes from Jesus's life.
The church was built between 1847 and 1850 as a 19th-century structure in the region. A fire in 1914 and wartime damage necessitated major reconstruction work from 1922 to 1925.
The church was originally Lutheran but became Roman Catholic after World War II when the Canons Regular of the Lateran from Krakow arrived. This shift shaped the religious life and identity of the city.
The church stands in the town center, making it easy to find and access on foot. Visitors should check opening times and accessibility beforehand, especially if they wish to attend services or explore the interior.
Each day at noon, a bugle call sounds from the tower and travels across the town as a local tradition known as the Ełk Hejnał. This daily ritual connects the church to the city's rhythm in an uncommon way.
