Orthodoxe St-Nikolaus-Kirche.
Ein stilgerechtes klassizistisches Gotteshaus, gekrönt von einem Spitzturm im Westen und einem Kuppeldach im Osten. Die Heiligenfiguren der Ikonostase sind jünger als das Kirchengebäude, aber das schönste schmiedeeiserne Tor Kuressaares, das zum Kirchhof führt, ist wie die Kirche frühklassizistisch. Errichtet: 1790. |
