Kreuzkirche in Kaliningrad
Description
The Kreuzkirche is a church in the former city district of Lomse in Königsberg, Germany, now Kaliningrad, Russia. The church was designed by architect Arthur Kickton and built between 1930 and 1933 for the evangelical community of Königsberg. Between the two towers a monumental cross from Kadyny maiolica is situated. The church was only lightly damaged in World War II and became a garage and a factory for fishing equipment thereafter. After a fire it was decided in 1988 to use the building as a church again, now for the Kaliningrad Orthodox community. Both towers were connected to the nave again in the restoration that followed. The original clock of the church now hangs on the Church of the Holy Family.

Astonishing exterior, but if you are not a fan of Russian Orthodox Church - don't go inside, it's heartbreaking.
Really great Catholic Church. If you type in the Internet Frauenkirche in Munich you will be pleasantly surprised how similar our Church building in Bavaria. Such Church is not really Catholic canonical architecture just 2.!
Massive structure with a rather combative style.
Och well, what is a building restored after the bombing!
