History of Kaliningrad

Since 1945, since Koenigsberg became a Soviet city, much has changed in it. Central European Gothic, once representing the face of the city, was replaced by Soviet constructivism.

The names of streets have changed, most of the monuments ceased to exist as an "alien" element in their time. The historical Royal Castle was blown up, and the Cathedral was almost lost. Until the 90s, the Koenigsberg German gradually turned into Kaliningrad Soviet.

Only very recently it began to come to the realization that the greatest historical heritage lost from the former owners of these historically interesting lands was lost.
