Beautiful church only until you want to walk and pray

I have never been in it. So I give it 3 stars.

The church was built in the classical style. Throughout history, it has not undergone major architectural changes, only in the interwar period the tower's helmet was changed. It was not destroyed during World War II, but the Germans requisitioned the bells and dismantled the metal parts of the historic organs. In 1945, it was occupied by Catholics. He was recovered several years later as a result of a lawsuit, but devastated and deprived of benches. The equipment of the facility was finally completed only in the 1990s. In the years 1998–1999 the church underwent a partial renovation. Oriented, single-nave building, on a rectangular plan. The modest facade is decorated with a stepped gable and a triangular tympanum supported by four pilasters with kimation heads. Above the entrance, the bell tower fused into the building. The original tower helmet, flat and semicircular in outline, was replaced by a tall and impressive pyramid-shaped helmet. The cross crowning the belfry from the 1930s was slightly bent as a result of a lightning strike - the damage was repaired in 1999. All rusticated facades. The interior is kept in the spirit of classicism. The nave without a separate presbytery, covered with a ceiling in the central pseudo-cradle part closed from the altar side with a conch, flat sides. The marbled ceiling supports simultaneously hold the galleries, below which they have the form of Tuscan columns, and above - Ionic columns with smooth shafts. The profiled ceiling supported on pillars means that the church gives the impression of a three-nave interior, although it is actually single-space. Empor balustrades rounded towards the altar wall. The course of the empor emphasizes the prominent cornice, which revolves around the nave, forming a console supporting the pulpit above the altar. Above the altar mens is a 19th-century painting depicting the Last Supper, painted according to the famous fresco of Leonardo da Vinci. The altar and pulpit complex are captured by two pilasters crowned with Ionic capitals. The pulpit does not have a canopy, whose role is played by the ceiling conch. 19th-century neo-Gothic organs in the music choir. Demolished during the war, the instrument was renovated and launched in the 1990s. In the nave of the church commemorative plaques were placed in honor of the pre-war Evangelical priests of Suwałki: priest Wilhelm Artur Borkenhagen (1898-1972) and his predecessor, Fr. Siegfried Oskar Loppe (1883-1957). To this day, the church serves the Suwałki Lutheran community. Occasional music concerts take place there.
