Mulden Church

Mulden Church

In the mid-20th century Mulden was renamed Perevalovo. The rectangular church of fieldstone and brick, with a small tower, was built in 1806–1808. Its coordinates: 54.499163, 21.422598.

It was probably built on the site of an early-17th-century chapel. The windows are round-arched. The three-aisled interior is raised in the centre, while its side parts are flat. The pulpit and the altar were combined. The organ was built in 1854. The church's bell tower held two bells.

Seal of Mulden Church


1990. The church was used as a warehouse. The windows were bricked up, leaving small niches. The tower was well preserved. 95 per cent of the plaster had survived. Next to the church, the remains of a memorial to the people of Mulden who fell in the First World War can be seen. The pastor's house stands not far from the church. In 1993 a tree that stood nearby fell onto the church. As of 2000 the tower is abandoned and the body of the church is used as a warehouse.
