🏛 Juditten Church (St Nicholas Church)

Тенистая аллея, 39б

A 13th-century Teutonic Order church built of boulders — the oldest building in Kaliningrad, now a convent church.

It is the oldest surviving building in Kaliningrad: its foundation is generally dated to 1288.
The church was built by the Teutonic Order; by the end of the 14th century it had become a well-known place of pilgrimage for the knights.
The main nave is built of rough, undressed boulders.
At the end of the 14th century an artist named Peter painted the choir and the triumphal arch with frescoes.
It is now a dependency of a convent dedicated to the Derzhavnaya (“Reigning”) icon of the Mother of God.
