The Evangelicals of Bralin had to wait very long for their own place of prayer - until mid 19th century. Initially they could use a schoolroom and later a room in the town hall. It was only in the years 1866-1867 that a church dedicated to St. John the Evangelist, which today, was built in the market square. It was erected as a brick structure, unplastered (Rohbau), in the so-called arcaded style (Rundbogenstil) according to a unique government design created by Berlin architects with the participation of Friedrich August Stiiler. The polychromy of the interior, which has survived till the present day, comes from 1917 and commemorates the jubilee of the church's 50th anniversary as well as the solemnly celebrated 400th anniversary of the Reformation. Pastor Zenon Bessert was the last permanent administrator of the Evangelical parish in Bralin, after 1920 it passed in the care of ministers from Kępno. The church is an exceptional example of well preserved Evangelical buildings that deserves to be placed under the special care of the conservator of historical architecture.

The first dissenters arrived in Pogorzela during the time of the Reformation, but the first prayer house of the evangelical settlers was set up much later. For this purpose they rebuilt a wooden barn from 1778. In this building services were presided over by the parson from the nearby Kobylin, and once a week the teacher from Gumienice preached sermons. In 1853 the first local parson was appointed and so it was possible to establish a separate parish. The construction of the present church lasted from 1860 until October 1861, and on 24 July 1862 it was solemnly consecrated. The church in Pogorzela was built by Friedrich Wilhelm Butzke according to a typical government design by F.A. Stüler. In 1904 the parsonage was built.

The text is a minor appendix to the book The Church o f Our Lady o f Sorrows in Poznań (Poznań 2013) compiled by the two authors of the present study. The new data is a fragment of the design documentation of this church, unknown to the authors of the monographic publication at the time of writing, and discovered by Andrzej Kusztelski during his research in St. Martin’s church in Poznań. It is a design of the church’s façade signed by the builder Maksymilian Wilczewski. It is the only extinct design of this building (ultimately changed in the course of realization).
