Haapsalu Cathedral, Medieval cathedral in Haapsalu, Estonia.
The cathedral features a single nave design with dome-like vaults reaching 15.5 meters in height and covering an area of 425 square meters.
The construction of this religious structure began in 1260 under the direction of the Archbishop of Riga, who established a new diocese including Läänemaa, Saaremaa, and Hiiumaa.
The cathedral houses a Mother's Altar, consecrated in 1992, with a statue by sculptor Hille Palm honoring Estonian mothers who died during Soviet occupation.
The cathedral operates as both a religious site and concert venue, with guided tours available to explore its medieval architecture and historical exhibitions.
During August full moons, visitors gather at a specific chapel window to observe the wall where, according to legend, the White Lady apparition manifests.
