The new Evangelical church was consecrated in December 1892. A brick building. An altar niche with annexes to the south and north. Small buttresses all around. The tower also has annexes on two sides. Three aisles, separated by brick columns. Vaulted ceilings. The organ dates from 1865, the brass font from 1762. Two bells.
At the end of the Second World War the church was intact. For some time it stood abandoned, then it was used for farm purposes.
Later it was divided into two floors, and the upper floor was given over to a gym. The roof was re-covered with asbestos-cement sheeting. The roofs of the altar annexes were altered. Otherwise the church was in satisfactory condition. In 1994 routine repairs were carried out on the roof and the annex. After the church was handed over to the Orthodox Church, the floor dividing the interior into two storeys was removed, the interior was repaired, and since 1996 it has served as the Orthodox Church of St John of Kronstadt.
