Christ's Church in Kołobrzeg

Christ's Church in Kołobrzeg is a building of the 1920s, today a congregation of the Church of Christ in Poland. The place is recorded in the history of the town: on 1 June 1945 the ceremony of handing Kołobrzeg over from the Soviet military authorities to the Polish side took place here.

History of the building

Before the Second World War the building served the New Apostolic Church. After the Red Army entered in 1945 it was looted and ceased to serve as a prayer hall. Until 1978 the building was used for various purposes: it was a common room of the Barka fishing services company, a store for furniture and food products, and finally a bakery of the Społem cooperative.

The congregation

In 1979 the authorities handed the building over to the community of the Church of Christ. The congregation solemnly opened the chapel on 6-7 December 1980, and in the 1990s it added a new prayer hall and a multi-purpose building.
