Mehlauken Kirche, Lutheran church in Zalesye, Russia
The Mehlauken Kirche features Italian architectural elements with a separate bell tower, drawing inspiration from the Basilica of San Clemente in Rome.
Built between 1843 and 1846 during the reign of Friedrich Wilhelm IV, the church served as a center for 30 communities with 7,500 members until 1945.
The church represents a fusion of Italian and East Prussian architectural traditions, incorporating design elements from Friedrich Wilhelm IV's Italian travels.
The structure, located on Bolshakovskaya Street, currently stands without a roof and requires substantial restoration despite its protected heritage status.
The church records from 1841 to 1843 remain preserved at the German Central Office for Genealogy in Leipzig, documenting the early parish activities.
