Laiuse Church, Medieval church in Laiuse, Estonia
The limestone structure of Laiuse Church features a western wall staircase and a tower that underwent reconstruction in the 1970s following World War II.
First documented in 1319, the church endured multiple conflicts including the Livonian, Polish-Swedish, and Great Northern wars, requiring several reconstructions throughout its existence.
The church maintains its position as a religious center while hosting community gatherings and ceremonies that connect residents of Jõgeva Rural Municipality.
Located at coordinates 58.779831, 26.503446, the church stands on Laiuse Hill, the highest drumlin of Vooremaa, next to the ruins of Laiuse Order Castle.
Near the church grows a large lime tree, planted by King Karl XII in 1701, marking the period when Swedish soldiers occupied the adjacent castle.
