From 22 June 1855 this simple half-timbered building served as a church for the residents and holidaymakers of the town of Cranz (Zelenogradsk). It was then dismantled and moved to Zimmerbude (Svetly), where it was re-erected in enlarged form in 1899. A sacristy on the east side, a porch on the west. The windows were set unusually high. To the south-west stood a separate bell tower with two bells.
After the Second World War the church was intact. It was plastered over and used as a club and cinema. It probably stood until the 1960s; then it was demolished, and a sports centre was built in its place.
In the nearby village of Peyse there was a Baptist chapel (see the picture below).
