A parish church. A simple brick building of the late 14th century, without a chancel. All the interior furnishings were lost in a fire in 1914, but the walls and buttresses survived. Under the roof runs a plastered frieze. The east gable has blind windows with paired diagonal pinnacles above them. The west gable was completed in the 15th century. The sacristy is on the north side, the porch on the south. A majestic five-storey brick tower, with a diamond pattern of glazed bricks at the bottom. The bell chamber dates from the 16th century. The font, from the early 18th century, came from the Castle Church in Königsberg.

During the Second World War the church was shelled by artillery.


As of 2000 all that remained of the church was the shattered tower with a superb pointed portal and diagonal buttresses, plus a fragment of the main building's wall on the south side. After 2010 the remains of the tower began to be pulled down.
Not so long ago the road to the former village was adorned by a large "Demyanovka" sign (see photo above), about 1.5 x 6 metres, but it too has been removed.
