Nõo Church

Nõo Church stands as a well-preserved medieval brick church featuring Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements, with thick walls that originally served defensive purposes during turbulent historical periods.

Built in the second half of the 13th century, this fortress church represents one of Estonia's oldest parish churches and has maintained continuous religious services for over seven centuries.

The church serves as an active Lutheran congregation center, hosting regular worship services, Bible study sessions, and maintaining musical traditions through its choir, orchestra, and organ performances.

Services are held every Sunday and public holidays at 11:00 AM, with weekday evening services at 6:00 PM, and the church remains open for visitors to explore its interior and historical artifacts.

The church houses a functional 1890 pipe organ built by E. F. Walcker's firm and features artwork by notable Estonian artists including Tõnis Grenzstein's altar mural and Jaan Koort's apostle sculptures.
