(0 reviews)

The Saugai Evangelical Lutheran Church was built between 1845 and 1848 from red bricks. Tall, massive, and rectangular in design with a small tower, it was consecrated in 1857. The church featured a unique combined altar-pulpit structure, a 14-register organ, and a single bell. After the war, the church was restored and continues to host services to this day.

The chapel in the churchyard was adapted for Catholic worship in 1947, becoming St. Casimir’s Church. This low, rectangular chapel features three altars.

The Saugai Evangelical Lutheran Church is an outstanding historical architectural landmark, constructed between 1845 and 1848 using red bricks. This massive rectangular church took three years to complete, with its consecration held on October 9, 1857. The building is distinguished by its single-nave structure, apse, and a unique interior featuring a combined altar and pulpit. It housed a 14-register organ, and its single bell resonated across the area. During World War II, the church suffered minor damage but was quickly repaired by the local community. Today, it remains an active place of worship, regularly hosting Evangelical Lutheran services. The chapel in the churchyard was repurposed in 1947 as a Catholic place of worship and became St. Casimir’s Church. This low, rectangular chapel with three altars symbolizes the unity and dedication of the religious community.
