Haapsalu Church of the Congregation of Maria Magdalena
Haapsalu's Orthodox church of St Mary Magdalene on Rüütli street is a cross-shaped limestone building in post-classicist eclectic style with Russian touches and an octagonal ridge turret. Donations began in 1845, and on 21 July 1852 it was consecrated by the metropolitans of St Petersburg and Moscow, the archbishop of Riga and the bishop of Tallinn, in the presence of Emperor Nicholas I and Empress Maria Alexandrovna. In 1964 the church was closed and used as a warehouse. It was returned in 1994, and the first service was held on 22 July that year.
