Tallinn Bethel Church, Lutheran church in Pelgulinn district, Tallinn, Estonia
Bethel Church is a small Lutheran church building located in the Pelgulinn district of Tallinn. The structure features a distinctive tower with a tall spire that stands out when viewed from Tallinn's Toompea area.
The building was completed in 1938 according to architect Sacharias's design, making it the only Lutheran church built during Estonia's independence period. The congregation itself began its work in 1927, a decade before the church structure was erected.
The church serves as an active gathering place for its Lutheran congregation today. Its role extends beyond Sunday services, with the community involved in social outreach programs that reflect the values of its members.
The church is located at Preesi Street 5 and welcomes visitors on most days. It is worth checking ahead to confirm visiting times, as the building may sometimes be in use for services or other gatherings.
The building retains many of its original architectural features since completion and houses one of Tallinn's most active congregations. This continuous use over nearly a century has allowed the structure to maintain its substance and character.
