The first church here burned down in 1598. A towerless half-timbered church was built in 1674–75. It had a tall, steep roof. Inside was a wooden vaulted ceiling painted in the 17th century. The altar was made in 1599. The octagonal pulpit dated from 1676. The organ was built in 1751 by the master Johann Gottlieb Casparini. Several tombstones lay in front of the altar.
The church was destroyed during the assault on Pillau in 1945. After the war it was demolished.
As of 1997: an inspection found that the site had been levelled and the telegraph building erected on it.
