The Lutheran Church in Priozersk was built in 1930, when the Vyborg district and the western coast of Lake Ladoga were ceded to Finland in 1918. The city was then called Kyakisalmi. The population was dominated by Finns who professed Lutheranism.
The Lutheran Church was built by architect Armas Lindgren. Then it was called the New Church. The outer walls were lined with granite stone, similar to the one used to build the fortress of Korela. The architect wanted the New Church to look like a fortress. In 1937, a large organ was installed in the Lutheran Church of Priozersk.
During the war, the Church was significantly damaged during the bombing. In 1944, the Finns left the Priozersk, after which the House of Culture was located here. The building was completely renovated and externally preserved its appearance, but inside there was a stage, films were shown and concerts were held. In 2002, a fire broke out in the Lutheran Church of Priozersk, which destroyed the interior. It is now closed for restoration.
