Church of St. Jacob, Klaipėda
Summary
The Church of St. Jacob (Šv. Jokūbo bažnyčia; Jakobuskirche) or the Church of Lietuvininkai (Lietuvininkų bažnyčia; Litauische Kirche Memel) was a Lutheran church in Klaipėda, Lithuania which was originally completed and consecrated in 1687. Following the Great Fire of Klaipėda in 1854, the last reconstruction project of the church was prepared by Friedrich August Stüler and the reconstruction works were completed in the winter of 1856.
The church was attended by the Prussian Lithuanians (Lietuvininkai) and had a long-term history of Lithuanian-speaking priests. Near the church there was a Klaipėdian Parish School dedicated for Lithuanian community.
Following World War II and incorporation of the Lithuanian SSR into the Soviet Union, the damaged church was demolished by soldiers of the Soviet Armed Forces using tanks in 1959.
