Historical and pilgrimage tour

Kaliningrad has always been a place of intersection of different peoples, cultures and religions. The Prussians were pagans, the knights were Catholics, then Lutherans. In Soviet times it was the most atheistic region in the country. Today we are witnessing the rise of Orthodoxy. We'll talk about all these twists and turns.
You will learn what religions have dominated our land at different times, will reveal the history of Orthodoxy in East Prussia and the Kaliningrad region, visit church buildings in which people prayed for centuries. We will visit Kirch Juditten - the oldest building in Kaliningrad. Now it is the Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas, the courtyard of a female Orthodox monastery.

Next on our way Kirch Arnau is now the Church of St. Catherine. You will appreciate the frescoes of the 14th century and find out under what circumstances they were discovered.

We do not miss Kirch Heiligenvalde, "Miracle on Pregel" - composed of field boulders in the village of Ushakovo, it is still used for its intended purpose. I will tell you why it did not suffer during the Second World War and was not converted into an Orthodox church.

We look into the city of Guardeisk – you will admire the classic European layout of its streets and see the castle and the church of Tapiau.

In conclusion, we will go to the Monastery of the Icon of the Mother of God Derzhavnaya - one of the three operating women's monasteries in local villages. You will feel the tranquility and tranquility reigning here and appreciate the surrounding picturesque landscapes.
