Orzysz – Parish of the Sacred Heart of the Lord Jesus At the beginning of the 16th century, the Catholic church in Orzysz was a branch of Okartów, belonging to the Reszel deanery. During the Reformation, the Evangelical faith prevailed here. During the German times, Catholic priests from Pisz and later from Giżycko conducted pastoral care here. Before the First World War, Catholics purchased a house in which a chapel was set up. The house was expanded and in 1913 it was dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. From that time on, Holy Mass was to be celebrated here once a month. On December 20, 1937, a permanent pastoral facility was established here, and in 1945 a parish was erected. https://diecezjaelk.pl/parafie_diecezji/orzysz-parafia-p-w-najswietszego-serca-pana-jezusa/

The observation tower looks brand new. It's a well-maintained place. There are benches and tables below. There's access to the water. It offers a distant view of Lake Śniardwy. It's a good place. I recommend it.
