Häädemeeste Orthodox Church
German: Gudmannsbach
Häädemeeste's Orthodox Church of the Transfiguration was built in 1870–1872 to designs by architect Apollon Edelson, in the shape of a Latin cross, with walls of fieldstone and brick, tall round-arched windows and round windows. It has two towers: an onion-domed ridge turret and an octagonal bell tower over the west door. Its pilastered façades with simple brick and plaster decoration are found on no other church of this kind. Inside is a richly decorated three-tier iconostasis in eclectic style. In a fire in 1888 the cross on the main tower was knocked askew.

Häädemeeste Issanda Muutmise õigeusu kirik ehitati aastatel 1870–1872 arhitekt Apollon Edelsoni projekti järgi ladina risti kujulisena, maakivi- ja tellisseinte, kõrgete ümarkaarsete akende ja ümarakendega. Torne on kaks: sibulkupliga haritorn ja läänesissepääsu kohal kaheksatahuline kellatorn. Pilastritega fassaadide lihtne tellis- ja krohvdekoor ei leidu üheski teises samalaadses kirikus. Interjööris on rikkaliku dekooriga kolmekorruseline eklektiline ikonostaas. 1888. aasta tulekahjus vajus peatorni rist viltu.
