Sobre
Fatos rápidos: This church building is unique because its walls are made from limestone quarried nearby, giving it an unmistakable pale hue. Inside, a 15th century altarpiece adds a stunning detail with vivid biblical scenes.
Destaques: Look closely at the carved wooden pulpit where each panel tells a different story from the Bible, a rare piece crafted by the legendary Tallinn artist Bernt Notke. The church's acoustics create a haunting echo that makes every whispered prayer feel intimate and personal.
