During the First World War, the Russians, invading the Klaipėda region, immediately destroyed its tower with cannon shots. After invading the town, they started to destroy the altar, the organ, other inventory. The church was so devastated that it was not possible to finally rebuild it until 1924. However, the Second World War spared them - the building remained undamaged. However, the community was reborn in 1947 by the efforts of cantor Pėteris Knispelis. In addition to him, priests J. Kalvanas of Tauragė parish and other clergymen held services here.
