Harju-Risti Church, Medieval church in Harju-Risti, Estonia.
The church structure features massive stone walls, a semi-circular tower, and a low triumphal arch connecting the main sections of the building.
Constructed between the 14th and 17th centuries by Padise Abbey monks, the church survived the St. George's Night Uprising and Livonian War conflicts.
The interior contains 15th-century tombstones and a Renaissance pulpit created by craftsman Tobias Heinze, reflecting Estonian religious art through centuries.
From June to August, visitors can access the church Tuesday through Sunday between 12:30 PM and 6:00 PM, while other months require advance reservations.
The church houses the oldest bell in Estonia from the 14th century and includes uncommon architectural elements like a fireplace and cellar in the sacristy.
