Church of the Palanga’s Evangelical Lutheran

Palanga Evangelical Lutheran Church Palanga Evangelical Lutheran Parish was founded at the beginning of the 20th century. At that time it was a branch of Kretinga parish. From 1910 the congregation met in the house of the pharmacist Oskar Berting. Later a large room was built on the second floor of the house, where the congregation worshipped for 18 years. The congregation consisted of Lithuanians, Latvians and Germans, so the priests preached in three languages. The first parish house was built and consecrated in 1928 in Jūratės Street. It burnt down in 1938. The Soviet authorities did not allow the parish to function.

In 2000, the Municipality allocated a plot of land in Saulėtekio Street for the construction of a new church, and in 2005, Bishop M. Sabutis consecrated the cornerstone of the church. The authors of the project are Irena and Gintas Likšai.

The present priest is Darius Petkunas.
