The Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Ozimek was built in the first half of the 19th century, according to the design of the German architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, one of the more outstanding representatives of classicism in the Kingdom of Prussia. The temple was created for Protestant settlers who began to arrive in Ozimek – called the Malapane settlement – from Brandenburg and Lower Saxony in connection with the opening of the ironworks. The object – next to the church in Kąty Wrocławskie – is considered a prototypical Protestant church in the Opole region. Originally, services were held on the premises of the ironworks, in a building called the "foundry castle," where a prayer hall was arranged on the first floor, in which there was an altar, pulpit, and organ. Unique Neo-Gothic furnishings were cast in the ironworks for the newly built church, which were replaced with wooden ones in the second half of the 19th century. To this day, window frames, the balustrade on the choir, and choir pillars have been preserved from it. Next to the temple stands a tower with bells, which was put into use in the second half of the 19th century. Next to the church is an evangelical cemetery established in the mid-19th century, where figures associated with the city and the history of local metallurgy are buried.
