Harju-Jaani Church
Harju-Jaani, called Saientacken in old documents, had a church by 1322; its oldest known pastor, Heinrich Moller, died on 25 June 1400. The medieval church stood a few hundred metres west of today's and was demolished when the new one, by architect Friedrich Wilhelm Alisch, was finished: building took four years and ended with the consecration on 13 October 1863. On St Martin's Day 1717 pastor Heinrich Christoph Wrede used the church library to found a school at Raasiku, with the sexton Bergmann as its first teacher.

Harju-Jaanis (vanades ürikutes Saientacken) oli kirik olemas juba 1322. aastal; vanim teadaolev kirikuõpetaja Heinrich Moller suri 25. juunil 1400. Keskaegne kirik asus praegusest mõnisada meetrit lääne pool ja lammutati, kui arhitekt Friedrich Wilhelm Alischi kavandatud uus kirik valmis: ehitus kestis neli aastat ja lõppes pühitsemisega 13. oktoobril 1863. 1717. aasta mardipäeval asutas pastor Heinrich Christoph Wrede kiriku raamatukogu alusel Raasikule kooli, mille esimene õpetaja oli köster Bergmann.
