The Arnau Church of St. Catherine of Alexandria is a Brick Gothic church about 8 km east of Kaliningrad, Russia, near the Pregolya River and the Russian-Lithuanian border. Built in the 14th century as a Catholic church in the East Prussian village of Arnau (now Rodniki), it became Lutheran after the Reformation. Its more than 200 medieval frescoes, whitewashed at that time, were uncovered in the early 20th century, but a renovation after the church passed to the Russian Orthodox Church in 2010 caused irreversible damage to them.
