Church of the Holy Family
Church of the Holy Family, Gothic Revival church in Kaliningrad, Russia.
The red brick building features a symmetrical design with pointed arches, a high nave, and a tall tower reaching toward the sky.
Friedrich Heitmann constructed this Catholic church between 1904 and 1907 to serve the increasing number of Catholic immigrants in Königsberg.
Following restoration in the 1980s, the church transformed into the Kaliningrad Philharmonic concert hall, receiving a new organ with 3,600 pipes.
The church stands at Ulitsa Bogdana Khmel'nitskogo 63а and visitors can contact +74012645294 for concert schedules and guided tours.
The church never held funerals during its religious period, limiting ceremonies to weddings, baptisms, and regular masses.

Kaliningrad is notable for the coexistence of its German and Russian heritage, resulting from a history that has shaped its current identity. The city hosts the 14th-century Kaliningrad Cathedral, a brick Gothic building now serving as a museum and organ concert venue. Prussian fortifications reflect the military past of the former Königsberg, such as the Bunker Museum, which recounts World War II events, and the historic Brandenburg and King’s Gates, which once marked the city entrances. The Kaliningrad region is known for its Baltic amber deposits, displayed at the Amber Museum housed in a 19th-century tower. The Ocean Museum exhibits research ships and maritime exploration collections. 98 kilometers from the city, the Curonian Spit extends between the Baltic Sea and the lagoon, forming a strip of sand covered with pine forests and dunes. The old Königsberg Exchange and the Church of the Holy Family complete a route mixing architectural and natural discoveries.
