The Kallningken Church ( Russian Кирха Калльнингкена , between 1938 and 1946 the place was called Herdenau ) was a field stone building from 1753 with a wooden tower from 1819 on solid ground. Until 1945 it served as a Protestant church in the parish of Kallningken in the Prussian province of East Prussia .
The location of the church is in the eastern town center on the road to Jasnopoljanka (Spucken , 1938-1946 Stucken) .
Church building
A first church was built in Kallningken by order of the Great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg in 1677. It had to be demolished in 1727, and a second church was built in its place, which also did not last long. In 1753 the third parish church was finally built on the highest point of a hill: a field stone building with a polygonal end, to which a wooden tower on a solid substructure was placed in front in 1819.
The church interior was equipped with galleries . The story circulated about the winged altar from the 15th century that it was once salvaged from the Curonian Lagoon as a flotsam . The altar shrine was richly carved and had been changed several times over the years. In the middle it showed the "Madonna with the Child". On the wings were pictures from the life of Jesus . The pulpit dates from the 17th century.
In 1898 the church received an organ . The ringing consisted of a single bell .
The church had come through World War II unscathed . Until the 1980s, it was used as a warehouse . After that it was abandoned and fell into disrepair. In 1994 the roof collapsed. Sparse remains of the wall indicate its existence today.
Parish
The Protestant parish in Kallningken was founded in 1684 and given a parish office. The subsidiary church of the Parish Kallningken was the church Inse (the place is called today in Russian: Pritschaly ), which only became independent in 1810. Kallningken (1938 to 1946: Herdenau) belonged to the parish Niederung (Elchniederung) within the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union until 1945 . In 1925 the parish of Kallningken had 1,300 parishioners who lived in 14 places or smaller towns.
The flight and expulsion of the local population in connection with the end of the Second World War brought church life to a standstill after 1945. Today Prochladnoje lies in the catchment area of the Evangelical Lutheran parish in Slavsk (Heinrichswalde) , which was newly established in the 1990s, within the Kaliningrad provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia .
