German: Kerkau

Kergu orthodox church

Kergu, in northern Pärnu county, got its first Orthodox church in 1861 at the local cemetery. The very next year the owner of Kergu manor, Sinaida Keyserling, donated a new church, which served until 1878. The present church, designed by Gardenack, was built in 1875–1877 and dedicated to the great martyr Zinaida. Its roof was damaged in the fighting of 1941, and in 1980 the local collective farm paid for a new tin roof and the restoration of its destroyed domes.

Eesti keeles

Põhja-Pärnumaal asuv Kergu sai esimese õigeusu kiriku 1861. aastal kohalikule surnuaiale. Juba järgmisel aastal kinkis Kergu mõisa omanik Sinaida Keiserling uue kiriku, mis oli kasutusel 1878. aastani. Praegune Gardenacki projekteeritud kirik ehitati aastatel 1875–1877 ja pühitseti suurkannataja Sinaiidale. 1941. aasta lahingutes sai katus kannatada ning 1980. aastal lasi kohalik kolhoos kirikule uue plekk-katuse panna ja hävinud kuplid taastada.
