This is the first Lutheran church built after the 2nd World War (architects Martin Aunin and Erkki Ristoia). ) The coastal church was consecrated on July 25, 2007 and was built to preserve the memory of the dead sailors and serve the local population and was built taking into account all the classic sacred canons. Interesting architecture in harmony with the surrounding space, concrete and a lot of glass create an internal volume, it seems that the church glows from the inside. An interesting shape bell tower 13 m high. On it are two bells cast in Holland, on one it says “Remember about death”, on the other - “Remember about life”, the bells are ringing for everyone who has not returned from the sea, and for those who are now at sea. In fact, the bells rang every 15 minutes, and they had to be turned off at night, because this bell ringing did not allow the local residents to sleep. Services are held here on Sundays. The church is designed for 230 seats, concerts, or various events can be held here. The parish is about 600 people.
