Allenburg Church

The Allenburg Church is a Brick Gothic building near Allenburg Castle commissioned by Konrad [von Jungingen], the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights, in 1405. Seriously damaged during the First [World War], the medieval building was restored and slightly expanded in 1925. After the Second World War, Allenburg was renamed Druzhba, [Pravdinsky District, Kaliningrad Oblast|Druzhba] and is now part of Pravdinsky District of Kaliningrad Oblast. The church was used by local farmers as a grain-drier. It was restored by the local Lutheran community in 2005 and eventually passed to the Russian [Orthodox Church] in 2010.
