Kazan Church in the village of Yantarny is located on Sovetskaya street (former Hauptstrasse). It used to be the Palmnicken Lutheran Church, founded in 1887, on the initiative of Maurice Becker. Next to the Church is a large Park, also named after Becker.
The Kazan Church was built of massive boulders and shaped bricks, so it has a high architectural and artistic value. It was built as a small copy of the chapel of St. George in the Palace of Monbijou.
Imperial Palace of the Hohenzollern Monbijou located in the heart of Berlin. There was the famous Amber Room, which was later given by king Frederick I to Russian Tsar Peter I and later placed in the Catherine Palace of Tsarskoye Selo. During the storming of Berlin in 1945, the Monbijou Palace was completely destroyed and not restored.
The Church had an organ and beautiful stained glass Windows. Two bells were installed inside the small tower. After the war, the Palmnicken Church, like other churches in the Kaliningrad region, was turned into a sport hall. In 1991, it was transferred to the Russian Orthodox Church and consecrated As the Church of the Kazan icon of the Mother of God. Next to the Church, there is an amber tree – the trunk and branches are made of metal, and the leaves are made of amber.
