Muhu St. Catherine's Church

St. Catherine's Church features a rectangular nave with high cross-rib vaults, a square chancel, and narrow lancet windows in early Gothic style.

The church's first written record appeared in Hermann von Wartberge's 14th-century chronicle, referring to a donation made to the structure in 1267.

Medieval wall paintings with Byzantine influences cover the interior surfaces, displaying religious motifs and decorative patterns from different historical periods.
