Kambja Church, Lutheran church in Kambja, Estonia.

Saint Martin's Church features a northern tower with staircases added in 1937 and stands as a prominent religious structure in Tartu County.

The church's first mention dates to 1330, and after destruction in 1558, its reconstruction required 84 years to complete.

The church holds significance as the location where Heinrich Andreas Erxleben established the first Estonian choir in collaboration with Moravian Church in 1794.

The cemetery adjacent to the church contains historical monuments, including the War of Independence memorial restored in 1989.

An oak tree planted by Crown Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden marks the church gates, representing Estonian-Swedish historical connections.
