Lutheran Church in Grodno
The church was built on the site of the so-called "tavern on Gorodnitsa" for Lutheran masters.

In 1793, by the decree of King Stanislaw August Poniatowski, the land plot with the tavern were transferred to the Lutheran community for eternal use. In the 1870s, a church was erected on the site of the tavern – a monument of pseudo-Gothic architecture. In 1912, the building was thoroughly rebuilt. Today it is a single-nave building with one tower with a pentagonal apse and sacristy. The tall bell tower, square in plan, stands out from the main volume. There is an inscription on the bell in Latin: "God sends his son." The main entrance through the tower is decorated in the form of a large pointed portal, above which there is a rose window. Before 1944 the tower had a high spire. It contains a clockwork mechanism from 1913 in good condition, but they have been silent for more than 70 years.  

In 1912, Pastor Oswald-Adolf Plamsch built a yellow brick house next to the church, which is a vivid example of the transition from brick eclecticism to Art Nouveau elements. In 1944, the church building was transferred to the regional archive, while the organ, furniture, chandeliers were lost. In 1995, the church and the pastor's house were returned to the Evangelical Lutheran community of Grodno. Currently, the church is being actively restored and will soon turn from a dilapidated building into a magnificent temple with a hall for organ music concerts. The organ will come from the community from the city of Frankfurt am Main.

At the military cemetery on Belusha Street there is a chapel-tomb of Major General of the Russian Imperial Army Alexander Alexandrovich Russau. German Lutheran A. A. Russau died on October 6, 1896. Russian graves During the several years that have passed since the funeral of Alexander Alexandrovich, his wife and colleagues, comrades and colleagues, as well as members of the Lutheran community of Grodno, a chapel was erected, located in the Lutheran part of the cemetery, among the graves of many German servicemen who served in the Russian army.
