Türi Church, Medieval church in Türi, Estonia
Türi Church is a medieval stone structure with three naves arranged in a hall system and a rectangular floor plan. Narrow pointed-arched windows line the side walls and chancel, while a wooden tower from 1741 was replaced by a stone tower built between 1865 and 1867.
Construction began in the 13th century as part of the settlement's religious development in the region. The replacement of the wooden tower with stone construction in the mid-1800s marked a period of growing confidence and investment in the building.
The interior displays Renaissance furnishings and artworks that reflect the artistic tastes of different eras in the community. These pieces show how the congregation's values and resources evolved over time.
Access varies by season and visitors should plan accordingly based on the time of year they are visiting. Checking conditions in advance is recommended to ensure you can enter when you arrive.
The choir corners feature stone-carved masks carved with fine detail that add character to the space. A weather vane mounted on a golden ball crowns the wooden structure and overlooks the town below.
