In 1685 the Reformed congregation was given a church, which it shared with the Lutherans. The Reformed congregation’s own church was founded on 27 June 1717. Yet the new church built after the fire of 1761 also belonged to both congregations. In 1866 the Reformed congregation at last received its own chapel of red fired brick, with small buttresses and no tower. At the gable the buttresses are stepped.
Inside it had a vaulted ceiling and galleries along the walls.
The gable was slightly damaged during the fighting in 1945. After the war the building was used as a warehouse. A weathervane in the shape of a cockerel still survives on the north gable.
In 1992 it was handed over to the Orthodox Church and, after renovation, now serves as the Orthodox St George’s Naval Cathedral.
