Iisaku Church
German: Isaak
Iisaku church, near Lake Peipus, was built in 1846 to replace a stone church that had burned down; only the altar painting and a few altar vessels were saved from the fire. The neo-Gothic church has a massive west tower with a pyramid spire, buttresses between pointed windows and a small ridge turret, and its whole interior is in neo-Gothic forms, from the chandeliers to the three-sided organ gallery. In the choir's east wall is an Art Nouveau rose window with Christ's monogram, and the pulpit carries paintings of six apostles by Melanie Kukk-Rahamägi from 1957.

Peipsi lähedal asuv Iisaku kirik ehitati 1846. aastal põlenud kivikiriku asemele; tulest päästeti vaid altarimaal ja mõned altaririistad. Uusgooti kirikul on massiivne telkkiivriga läänetorn, teravkaarsete akende vahel tugipiilarid ja väike haritorn ning kogu sisustus lühtritest kolmeküljelise oreliväärini on uusgooti vormides. Koori idaseinas on juugendstiilis Kristuse monogrammiga roosaken ja kantslil Melanie Kukk-Rahamägi 1957. aastal maalitud kuue apostli kujutised.
