    The Church in Memory of Queen Louise is a historical building in Kaliningrad, one of the city’s landmarks. In the past it was a Lutheran church, now the Kaliningrad Regional Puppet Theater is located in the church building. Address: Pobeda Avenue, 1 (in the territory of Central Park). The church was built in memory of Queen Louise of Prussia (1776-1810). The author of the project is the architect Friedrich Heitmann. The church was built in 1899-1901. On the south side of the church, a priest's house and a house for confirmers were added, similar in style to the church itself (not preserved). The church building was damaged during the war and stood in ruins for a long time without use. In the sixties, it was planned to demolish it, but the church was saved by the architect of the State Design Institute of Civil Engineering, Yuri Vaganov, who developed a project for converting the former church building into a puppet theater building. In accordance with this project, the church was restored and began to operate in a new capacity in 1976. The exterior of the restored building is largely consistent with its pre-war appearance, while the interior has been completely redesigned to better suit the building's new function. The remains of the vaults were demolished, and the church premises were divided into two floors with modern ceilings. The first floor is used as an exhibition hall, the second floor is a performance hall.

    Excellent church, excellent puppet theater. If you decide to explore the Amalienau region on your own, then start from this church. Nearby there is an artist's house, a former shelter for the poor.

    The building is beautiful. Thanks to the puppet theater for surviving at all, but it would be better if the church in memory of Queen Louise remained here...

    A beautiful historical landmark, preserved perhaps due to the fact that it houses the Puppet Theater.

    Only Satanists would think of placing a puppet theater here. So in every temple they rock gavvah, and here there are also children. 100% there was also a cemetery nearby, and now the Central Recreation Park. Creepy!! Look on YouTube for Hunter “only a plus” or Hranitel. (it's better not to know)

    Beautiful building. It’s a pity, its interior content and surrounding landscape do not correspond to such an architectural monument.

    Historical, beautiful building. An interesting decision to make the clock orange (why???). There is an amusement park and a simple park nearby. There is a puppet theater inside, which will be interesting to visit with children. In addition, the church has a rich and interesting history associated with the city.

    A beautiful church with a puppet theater inside. The buildings themselves are in excellent condition, next to a park and a shawarma pavilion with an ironic name))

    This is a puppet theater at this time, and on top there are antennas of cellular operators. This is the memory of the Queen of Prussia.
