Vasknarva orthodox church

The Russian Revival architecture church stands near Lake Peipus and the Narva River, featuring traditional Eastern Orthodox design elements and copper roofing.

Built in 1900, the church replaced an earlier wooden structure from 1817, continuing the Orthodox presence established during the religious changes of the 19th century.

The church maintains regular services for the local Russian-speaking Orthodox community, preserving religious traditions in this border region of northeastern Estonia.

Located in Alutaguse Rural Municipality, the church serves as a religious center for both residents and visitors from surrounding Estonian and Russian communities.

The church houses a revered icon of the Dormition of the Mother of God, transferred from the Pühtitsa chapel in the early 19th century.
