Pühalepa Church, Medieval stone church in Pühalepa, Estonia.

The Gothic-style church stands on Hiiumaa Island with stone walls, arched ceilings, and a tall steeple added in the eighteenth century.

Construction of the church began in 1255 by the German Order, making it the oldest stone church on Hiiumaa Island that survived wars and renovations.

The church building contains medieval altar pieces, stone crosses, and a stone pulpit from 1636 donated by the Hiiesaare manor lords.

The church functions as both a religious site and historical monument, maintaining regular services while welcoming visitors interested in architectural heritage.

The north wall of the church contains zero windows, while a rare inauguration cross remains preserved on the choir room wall.
