Lüganuse Church

The church building contains medieval architectural elements with distinct features including a porch chamber, sword chamber, and bell tower at its center.

The religious structure dates back to 1374, replacing what historians believe was previously a sacred hill or fortification in ancient settlement times.

The church maintains Estonian religious traditions through regular services, ceremonies, and bell-ringing practices that connect the local community to their heritage.

Visitors need to schedule appointments through phone or email to access special areas of the church, including the chambers and bell tower sections.

The church features hidden cross depictions under its roof gable and provides opportunities for visitors to ring the historic church bell themselves.
