Tartu University Church, University church in Tartu, Estonia.
The structure stands behind the central classicist building of the University of Tartu, featuring architectural elements from the mid-19th century construction period.
Built in 1860, the church operated as a congregation space until 1948, when it transformed into an educational facility for university activities.
The interior configuration maintains the academic character of the university complex, connecting religious heritage with educational purposes in Estonian society.
Original furnishings, including the altar, pulpit, and tower bells, were transferred to St. Nicholas Church in Põltsamaa, where they remain functional.
The building represents the intersection of religious architecture and academic institutions, maintaining its role in the educational landscape of Estonia.
