After the collapse of St. Adalbert's Church, which was rededicated to the Protestant parish church in 1525, the services were relocated to the chapel of Lochstädt Castle , which has since been considered the "parish church". It was built in Gothic style in the last decade of the 13th century. An old confessional from St. Adalbert's Church was kept in the sacristy of the castle chapel. The altar, pulpit, baptismal font and organ were newly procured after 1670. Although the south wing of the castle with the sacristy was preserved after the Second World War , it was demolished in the 1960s. The parish of Lochstädt , from which the branch church Alt Pillau was separated in 1885, belonged to the parish of Fischhausen within the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union until 1945 . The pastors lived in Tenkitten.
