Noarootsi Church, Gothic church in Hosby, Estonia
The medieval stone church features a straight-ended chancel in the east, a wide nave, and a four-sided tower added between 1400 and 1500.
Built around 1260 for Swedish settlers on an island separated from mainland Livonia, the church underwent destruction during the Livonian Wars of the 16th century.
The church maintains religious services in the Estonian community while preserving architectural elements from its medieval construction period.
The building contains three separate entrances, with the southern door positioned near the main road providing the primary access point for visitors.
The northern wall originally contained no windows, following medieval building traditions that may relate to protection against evil forces or light management.
