Nõmme Church of John the Baptist

The wooden church building features western and northern facades adorned with fresco paintings and stands among pine trees in the Nõmme district of Tallinn.

The church emerged from a 1912 meeting of Orthodox citizens in Nõmme, leading to its establishment in 1923 through the von Glehn family's land donation.

The church contains an iconostasis transferred from a Paldiski church in 1939, representing the preservation of Orthodox religious artifacts in Estonia.

Located at Tähe Street 2, the church welcomes visitors throughout the year and provides information through their website at nommejohannese.ee.

Architect Aleksander Wladowsky incorporated Jugend-style elements into the church design, creating a distinct fusion of architectural approaches.
