Location: Pamario st 37, Nida

One of Nida’s Lutheran pastors, Gustav Echternach, was behind the idea to build a purpose made Lutheran church in Nida. With a budget of 30,000 marks, the church was built, and sanctified on October 10, 1888.

Charming Neo - Gothic style red-bricked building of Nida’s Evangelical Lutheran Church features wooden ceiling and stained glass windows. The church houses exquisite organs of Karaliaučius’ (Kaliningrad) „Gebauer“ Company, two bells and two candle chandeliers, a present of Keizer’s wife Augusta Victoria, (presently replaced by exact copies, which were crafted in accordance with the remaining original).

Despite many cultural devastations of the postwar occupation of Lithuania, the original church survives to this day. During 1966 – 1988, the History Museum of the Curonian Spit was functioning in the building of Nida’s church. Organs were constructed in 1984. Since the end of 1988, worship sessions have resumed in the church.
