Kassari chapel
Kassari chapel on the island of Kassari, off Hiiumaa, is the only working stone church in Estonia with a thatched roof. A date of 1801 marking major repairs on an inner wall suggests the present chapel was built in the 18th century, probably replacing a 16th-century wooden one. Members of the Stackelberg family, owners of Kassari manor, lie in its graveyard, and so does Villem Tamm, the local man who was Johann Köler's model for Christ in his fresco 'Come to Me' in Tallinn's Charles's Church.

Eesti keeles
Hiiumaa kõrval Kassari saarel asuv Kassari kabel on Eesti ainus tegutsev roogkatusega kivikirik. Siseseinal olev aastaarv 1801, mis tähistab suuremat remonti, viitab, et praegune kabel ehitati 18. sajandil, arvatavasti 16. sajandi puukabeli asemele. Kabeliaias puhkavad Kassari mõisa omanike Stackelbergide suguvõsa liikmed ning ka Villem Tamm, kes oli Johann Köleri modelliks Kristuse kujule Tallinna Kaarli kiriku freskol „Tulge minu juurde“.
