Church or chapel · 1864
Käsmu Church
German: Kasperwiek
The wooden church at Käsmu, the old captains' village of Lahemaa, was finished as a chapel in 1864, surrounded by the village cemetery. Its organ came from the Swedish St Michael's church in Tallinn and was probably built in 1813 by Johann Andreas Stein. Local farmers furnished it: in the 1880s Jakob Kaskni of Tõnikse farm gave a chandelier and, on his initiative, a stone wall was built around the chapel yard in 1892, while farmer Preedik Lepni gave the altar painting by Rosenwald, finished in 1893.

Lahemaal vanas kaptenite külas Käsmus asuv puitkirik valmis kabelina 1864. aastal ja seda ümbritseb küla kalmistu. Orel pärineb Tallinna Rootsi-Mihkli kirikust ja selle ehitas arvatavasti 1813. aastal orelimeister Johann Andreas Stein. Sisustuse andsid kohalikud talunikud: 1880. aastatel kinkis Tõnikse talu peremees Jakob Kaskni kroonlühtri ja tema algatusel laoti 1892. aastal kabeliaia ümber kivimüür, talunik Preedik Lepni kinkis aga Rosenwaldi 1893. aastal valminud altarimaali.
