Evangelist Church

In 1831 on the street formerly known as Zamkowa a wooden church for the local evangelists was built. In 1880, it was replaced by the brick church. Neo-Gothic church built on a rectangular plan with slightly advanced tower on a square plan and front elevation together with an apse closed triangularly. Covered with a metal gable roof. Four axis side elevations divided by Tuscan pseudo-pilasters between them, narrow, high, ogival windows. Three-storey tower with an entrance to the church topped on four sides with triangular gables covered with a helmet in the form of pyramid with a hexagonal base. One space interior preceded by a porch. Next to the church in 1901 a parish house was built in which there was an evangelical school. A long time cantor of the Evangelical parish in Kutno was Leopold Schrodt.
After 1989 thanks to the commitment of Herman Nijhof, an evangelist from the Netherlands, Evangelical Augsburg church in Kutno was restored.
