This small town on the Angrapa once gave shelter to Swiss Protestants, who turned it into a real "gem"
After the Second World War it was intact and was used as a warehouse until 1976–77, then it was demolished
Until the early 2000s it served as a collective-farm canteen. After a fire in 2010 it was completely demolished
The church had a half-timbered tower with two bells and an eagle as its weathervane
The bell tower stood separately. In the mid-18th century the organ was bought from the Tragheim Church in Königsberg
Perhaps the church's fate was an unhappy one because a pagan "Field of the Dead" was chosen as its building site
The local parish took shape in the late 1840s, but it acquired its own church only in 1860
Even a not particularly expressive building of the early 17th century would deserve attention, but it has not survived
It stands humbly some three hundred metres north of the little town's main square
