Church or chapel · 1909
Kõpu Orthodox church
Kõpu's Orthodox church on Hiiumaa, built in 1907–1908, was a church and school under one roof: the school was in the north wing, the church in the middle, and a reading room and the sexton's quarters in the south wing. Its pale yellow bricks came by ship from Denmark; local fishermen ferried them in boats to the north shore of the Kõpu peninsula, and horse carts hauled them up to Külamäe. The neoclassical building keeps its original look, though the onion-domed central tower is gone. Later it housed the Kõpu community hall. Nobody knows who designed it.

1907–1908 ehitatud Hiiumaa Kõpu õigeusu kirik oli kirik ja kool ühe katuse all: põhjatiivas asus kool, keskel kirik ning lõunatiivas lugemistuba ja köstri eluruumid. Helekollased tellised toodi laevaga Taanist, kohalikud kalurid vedasid need paatidega Kõpu poolsaare põhjarannale ja sealt veeti need hobuvankritel Külamäele. Uusklassitsistlik hoone on säilitanud algse ilme, kadunud on vaid keskmine sibulkupliga torn. Hiljem tegutses majas Kõpu rahvamaja. Kes hoone projekteeris, pole teada.
