Harju-Madise Church, Medieval church in Lääne-Harju Rural Municipality, Estonia.

Harju-Madise Church stands on a high limestone cliff approximately half a kilometer from the seashore, featuring a tall tower and stone construction.

Built around 1500, the church underwent major reconstruction between 1760 and 1780, during which the choir, vestry, and tower were added to the structure.

The interior contains notable religious artworks, including a carved pulpit by Johann Valentin Rabe and a painted shrine donated by the Põllküla landlord.

The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors who can access the site at coordinates 59.290169 latitude and 24.122758 longitude in Madise village.

The church tower functions as a lighthouse due to its elevated position, serving both religious and maritime navigation purposes.
