Heiligenwalde Kirche

The church was built in 1344, the tower appeared later. The modern form of the church was acquired in the XV century. The tower roof was covered with a flat tile and ended with a low octagonal lantern. A slender dome was covered with copper. Later, a weathervane with the coat of arms of the first Prussian king Friedrich I was installed on the tower.

In the church there were unique sculptures, among them you could see the beautiful medieval carved figure of Holy Lady (1510) located in the sacristy, as well as the Madonna (1350), the work of the Cologne school.

The first information about the organ in the church is dated back to 1761. A new organ was installed in 1930.

During the Second World War the church was not damaged and after 1945 it was used as a warehouse.

In 1995, the restoration of the Heiligenwalde began. In 2003 the church was included in the museum complex of the Guryevsk Gymnasium 2. The restoration was carried out at the expense of the former residents of Heiligenwalde and other sponsors. As early as 2007, a music concert was held in the church.
