Gothic (architecture), interesting place, listed building / architectural heritage, lutheran church/kirk, place of worship, 15th century construction
The year the church was built, 1499, lets us suggest the stone is not too young either. Two stone crosses have been found best standing in the place as important as by the main door. The medieval Gothic church is located on the ancient Pirita–Vastseliina pilgrim route. The white walls of the sanctuary are characterised by narrow and high round arched windows and beautiful relief motifs on the western façade. The organ used in Puhja Church is a rarity throughout Europe. It is estimated that only 10 other similar organs have survived. Those who wish can also go to see the spire or visit the church museum of Puhja parsonage. Good to know: The church participates in the Wayfarers Churches and the Night of Churches programmes. Worship every Sunday at 11 a.m. The church can also be visited by prior arrangement.
