Janina Valinciute, Gargzdu (1998), p. 500, indicates that the Michael Archangel Church, built 1791, was in the form of a Latin cross.

At least one, and possibly two buildings from this era still exist today: the chapel (1840) and stone belfry (1842). See website of Krantas Secondary School for photos of and information about these structures. The present chapel is oriented in an E-W direction, while the diagram appears to show the chapel (at the NE corner of the Church complex?) oriented in a N-S direction. See also pre-1923 photo of chapel on a Gorzdy postcard.

These areas may be aligned with the Karte des Deutschen Reiches 1860 -1880. The Town Diagram was apparently based on magnetic north rather than true north, so the Diagram must be rotated 20 degrees to match the map.
