Church Juditen - the oldest building in the city

Architectural Monuments • Temples and places of worship • Cathedrals and churches • Other places

The Church Juditen is the oldest surviving building in Kaliningrad. Originally it was the Catholic Church of the Virgin Mary, which was built by the Teutonic Order in the XIII century. Knights of the Order chose for the temple a style of early Germanic Gothic from rough boulders and bricks. But in the XVI century the church moved to the evangelical confession.

The main relic of the Juditen church has always been a wooden sculpture "Madonna on the Crescent" of the 15th century. Its miraculous power attracted pilgrims from all over Europe including representatives of royal dynasties. Governors and generals were buried in the cemetery of the church. It is interesting that the building of the church was almost not damaged during the Second World War. But after 1945 they forgot about it. Once abandoned, the church in the 1960s found itself in a critical condition. The statue of the Madonna, installed in 1840, the organ and the paintings of the XIV century - all this was lost. In the 1980s the church was handed over to the Russian Orthodox Church. The first service in the now St. Nicholas Church was held in 1988.
