St. George's Church

St. George's Church is a brick building with domes and arches characteristic of Orthodox architecture in the region. Inside, the space features traditional religious artwork and decorative elements typical of Eastern Orthodox design.

The church was founded in 1868 as part of religious expansion in Estonia during that era. Its construction marked an important moment in the establishment of Orthodox presence in the region.

The church serves as a center for the local Orthodox community to gather and practice their religious traditions through regular services. Visitors can observe how icons and religious objects are integrated into daily spiritual life here.

Visitors should plan their visit around service times, as the church remains an active place of worship and exploration is best done when ceremonies are not taking place. Respectful dress and behavior are important when entering this religious space.

Priest Joosep Shestakovski played a central role in guiding the church's construction when it was established. The building later became connected to important figures in Russian Orthodox Church history.
