French Reformed Church

The French Reformed Church is a Protestant church building located in central Kaliningrad with Baroque architectural style. The structure features symmetrical proportions, carefully worked stone facades, and characteristic design elements typical of 18th-century Reformed church design.

The church was built in 1736 to serve French Huguenots who had settled in the city then known as Königsberg. Its construction under architect Joachim Ludwig Schultheiß von Unfriedt marked the establishment of an independent French Protestant congregation in the town.

The church reflects the presence of French Protestant communities in East Prussia and their role in the city's religious life. It shows how different denominational traditions coexisted within the local landscape.

The building is located on the former Königstraße in the city center, making it easily accessible and within proximity to other important sites. Visitors can explore the surroundings and see the structure as part of the city's historical layout.

The building combines Reformed simplicity with Baroque style in a way that sets it apart from other Protestant churches in the region. This blend of influences makes it a notable example of Königsberg's architectural variety during the period.
