Guided Story

Take a moment to admire the structure of St. Paul's Church, designed by Johannes Otzen in 1892. The Gothic Revival style is evident in its pointed windows and vertical lines. Imagine its original grandeur before it suffered severe damage during World War II. It was rebuilt in a simplified form, which gives it the more modest appearance you see today. Yet, it remains a poignant example of Protestant architecture. If you look north, you might catch a glimpse of the Putjatin family mausoleum in the distance. This could be a place for quiet reflection as you absorb the history surrounding you.
