From  http://www.ukraine.com : While Nykirken was built and rebuilt from ca 1621- 1763, Cossacks were fighting for independence from Polish-Lithuanian rule. The Ukrainian church distanced itself from Polish Roman-Catholic influence adapting a Greek-Orthodox liturgy. Nykirken was severely damaged in a harbour explosion during World War 2 in 1944. 160 killed, 5000 wounded, 5000 homeless.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nykirken The reason for the harbour explosion at  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_Voorbode WW1 Sea-mine memorial with a coin slot for charity.
