Kaarma Church, Medieval church in Kaarma-Kirikuküla, Estonia
The structure features a Gothic nave with two aisles, octagonal pillars, and a narrow choir section built in the early Gothic architectural style.
The church, constructed in 1260, received a tower addition in the early 15th century, marking it as the first religious building with a tower on Saaremaa island.
Stone carvings from the 15th century decorate the church pillars, displaying influences from Padise Abbey and the Dominican monastery in Tallinn.
The church contains a preserved baptismal font from the 13th century and medieval frescoes that visitors can examine during their visits.
Above the vestry sits a room with a fireplace that served as a refuge before becoming accommodation for pilgrims traveling from Gotland.
