Reigi Church

The stone church features a tall steeple topped with a lily sculpture, symbolizing the Ungern-Sternberg family coat of arms at its highest point.

Built between 1800 and 1802, the church replaced a wooden structure from the 1690s and received its last major reconstruction in 1899.

The church contains multiple artworks given by survivors of shipwrecks that occurred near the northwest coast of Hiiumaa during past centuries.

Located at Kõrgessaare 80 in Hiiumaa, the church opens for Sunday services and requires advance contact for visits outside regular worship times.

The interior design creates an optical effect similar to standing beneath an inverted boat, adding to the spatial perception of the building.
