A place that makes you think. Where once was a living city, there are only ruins left. Restoration work is carried out in some parts of the former Old Town of Küstrin or there are information boards bearing witness to the history.

The church was solidly built of bricks; its vault rested on 10 strong masonry pillars, 5 of which stood on each side. The pulpit was on the central pillar on the north side; Opposite her, on the side of the castle, lay the margrave's pew on a gallery. The ceiling of the latter featured many allegorical representations; the figures of faith, love, hope, perseverance, and devotion were here set in beautiful paintings.; Towards the nave, however, this loggia was closed off by the electoral coat of arms and a long hanging scarlet curtain. The pulpit was richly gilded wood carving; on its parapet were the twelve apostles with the four evangelists; but the front of the sound cover bore the figure of the resurrected prince of life in a halo with the cross-decorated flag of victory. Then the work gradually tapered upwards, like a Gothic tower with openwork; the top pommel carried a pelican feeding his young with the heart's blood, the ancient symbol of salvation, in a gilded nest. Above the preacher hovered the dove-form of the Holy Spirit, constantly moving; behind him lay the bleeding head of John the Baptist, already mentioned above, on a golden dish.
