The first church in Georgenburg was known from the 1657 epitaph of Pastor Pedanus in the Lutheran church of Insterburg, which showed the Georgenburg church painted in oils: half-timbered, with a small turret on the roof ridge.
The last church was built in 1693. Brick, laid in cross bond. Roughly 28.5 x 14.5 m. The tower was added in 1845. The porch and sacristy were on the north side. Round-arched windows in rectangular recesses (on the Danish model). The ceilings were flat.
The church had two bells. The pulpit and altar dated from 1700, the organ from 1770.

The church was rebuilt in 1857. After 1945 it was intact. But no later than 1960 it was destroyed and dismantled down to its foundations. The cemetery has not survived.
