List of churches in Estonia

Map all coordinates using: OpenStreetMap

This is the List of churches in Estonia . It aims to include all current churches, chapels and monasteries in the current territory of Estonia, as well as former Christian sacral buildings that were specially designed for that purpose. The list may not include all smaller chapels located within churchyards and cemeteries, as well as regular buildings formerly used by a congregation. Note that the "Year" here denotes the year that the construction of the church began or finished, when it was inaugurated, or the main construction period of the church in question.

Contents

In line with the common church naming traditions in Estonia, a traditionally Lutheran country, the Lutheran parish churches are usually listed by their locality name (e.g. "Aegviidu Church"), while churches of other denominations are listed either by their full name by their common name. If a locality has several Lutheran churches, the official names are given.

In 1670, the first, wooden Charles' Church was built on the same location. It was burned down for strategic purposes by the defending Swedes during the Great Northern War in 1710. The later Temporary Charles' Church and the current Charles' Church were built to nearby sites.

This article is a list of places of worship in Warsaw, Poland, both current and historical. It includes Catholic, Uniate, Protestant and Orthodox churches, as well as synagogues and shrines of other denominations. Note that the list includes also places of worship that were destroyed some time in the past and are currently non-existent. Throughout its existence, Warsaw has been a multi-cultural city. According to a census of 1901, out of 711,988 inhabitants there were 56.2% Catholics, 35.7% Jews, 5% Greek orthodox Christians and 2.8% Protestants. Eight years later, in 1909, there were 281,754 Jews (36.9%), 18,189 Protestants (2.4%) and 2,818 Mariavites (0.4%). This led to construction of hundreds of places of religious worship in all parts of the town. Most of them were destroyed in the aftermath of the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. After the war the new communist authorities of Poland discouraged church construction and only a small number of them were rebuilt.
