Kodavere Church
German: Koddafer
Kodavere's St Michael's church on the shore of Lake Peipus was first mentioned in 1342, and the present early classicist stone church, built in 1775–1777, is the fourth on the site. It is shaped like a ship, with a west tower that rises from a triangular pediment, turns octagonal and ends in a drum topped by a swelling onion dome. Inside are a wooden altar and pulpit and the altarpiece 'Jesus on the Sea', painted by Junker in Dresden in 1877. Beside it, right by the lake, lies the cemetery consecrated in 1773.

Peipsi kaldal asuvat Kodavere Mihkli kirikut mainiti esmakordselt 1342. aastal ning aastatel 1775–1777 ehitatud praegune varaklassitsistlik kivikirik on samas kohas juba neljas. Hoone on laevakujuline ja selle läänetorn tõuseb kolmnurkse frontooni tagant, muutub kaheksatahuliseks ja lõpeb trumliga, mille kroonib sibulakujuline kiiver. Kirikus on puidust altar ja kantsel ning altarimaal „Jeesus mere peal“, mille maalis Junker 1877. aastal Dresdenis. Kõrval, otse järve ääres, on 1773. aastal sisse õnnistatud kalmistu.
