New Altstadt Church

The original Altstadt Church, which dated from 1264 and was located south of Königsberg Castle, was dismantled from 1826 to 1828 because of cracks and sinking.

The replacement church's site was chosen as the intersection of Kreytzenscher Platz and Junkerstraße north of the castle.

Although the original design had to be reduced in scale because of cost, the Brick Neo-Gothic church was praised for its columns.

The carving was moved to a massive barn near Arnau in 1943, but was subsequently lost during World War II.

The remnants of the outer walls were dismantled in 1959 and columns from its portico are included in the entrance of Kaliningrad's Baltika Stadium.
