Halliste Church, Lutheran church in Pornuse, Estonia
The stone structure of Halliste Church features traditional Estonian ecclesiastical architecture with wooden elements and a distinctive black ceiling throughout the interior space.
Originally constructed between 1804 and 1833, the church experienced significant damage during various conflicts and remained in ruins for three decades after a fire in 1959.
The church displays an altar painting titled 'Christ' created by Estonian artist Jüri Arrak and regularly hosts musical performances in its main hall.
Visitors must schedule appointments in advance by contacting the church office at +372 5341339 or halliste@eelk.ee to arrange access to the building.
The church holds particular significance as the home church of former Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves, connecting national leadership with local heritage.
