Ruhnu Church

Ruhnu Church is a wooden church on Ruhnu island with a steep roof and bell tower positioned near an older wooden church building. The two structures sit close together and reflect different periods of religious architecture on this remote location.

The church was completed in 1912 and stands beside a wooden church built in 1644. The later structure was added to serve the island's growing religious community needs.

The church hosts regular services in Estonian and English during summer months, serving both local residents and visiting congregations throughout the season.

The church is on a Baltic Sea island and requires a ferry journey to reach it. Check opening times in advance since island locations have limited access during certain seasons.

The two churches standing side by side show that the older structure from the 17th century still stands even though a newer building was added. This rare pairing gives visitors a tangible sense of religious continuity on this isolated island community.
