Saha Chapel

The stone structure features thick walls, arched windows with fine tracery, and a limestone altar that maintains its original medieval characteristics.

Originally constructed around 1220 at a pagan worship site, the chapel was destroyed in 1223 and rebuilt in the early 15th century.

Saint Nicholas Chapel represents the medieval ecclesiastical architecture of northern Europe and stands as a testament to Estonian religious heritage.

The chapel remains accessible throughout the year, with contact available through phone number +372 53012223 or email at priit.poldma@joelahtme.ee.

The chapel contains distinctive grooves near its doors, suggesting the structure may have served defensive purposes during medieval times.
