St. John's Church, Lutheran church in Valga, Estonia.
St. John's Church stands with an oval ground plan at Kesk Street, featuring architectural elements characteristic of early 19th-century Estonian religious buildings.
The church emerged in 1816 under the guidance of architect Christoph Haberland during a period of Lutheran expansion in the Estonian region.
The Friedrich Ladegast organ within the church maintains its original condition and ranks among the most remarkable musical instruments across European churches.
Visitors can explore the church from May through September on Wednesdays between 12:00 and 17:00 and Sundays from 10:00 to 14:00.
The bell tower produces musical sounds at both midday and midnight, marking time for the local community throughout the day.
