Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the issue of historical furnishing (mainly of 17th and 18th centuries) preserved in Lutheran churches that have not changed their confession identity. Descriptions of the most interesting elements of furnishing of churches in Pasym, Szczytno, Sorkwity, Kętrzyn, Dźwierzuty, Łęguty and Pasłęk as well as in Dąbrówno and Gierzwałd are preceded with an extensive introduction explaining the assumptions of Lutheran Church art, sketchily outlining the development of Lutheran art within the area of the present Masurian diocese, and explaining the historical reasons for the today’s dispersion of Lutheran heritage in the region.
