All of this was called Neu London – New London, which the locals liked – London. The activities of the Kunda cargo port ended in 1940.

After the Lutheran Reformation, the chapel remained unmaintained and became a center of popular superstition, causing partial demolition and subsequent demolition in the middle of the 17th century.
