Kose Church
German: Kosch
St Nicholas' church at Kose already stood when the village was entered in the Danish Census Book of 1241; the first wooden church was built around 1230 and a stone one by 1370. Russians burned it in 1482, the Livonian War damaged it again in 1560, and its present neo-Gothic spire dates from 1873. Locals have long told a curious story about that spire: inside the round 'egg' at the very top of the tower, they say, there is a little room with a table and four chairs. Nobody explains who is supposed to sit there.

Kose Püha Nikolause kirik oli olemas juba siis, kui küla 1241. aastal Taani hindamisraamatusse kanti; esimene puukirik ehitati umbes 1230. aastal ja kivikirik valmis hiljemalt 1370. aastaks. Venelased süütasid kiriku 1482. aastal, Liivi sõjas sai see 1560. aastal taas kannatada ning praegune uusgooti tornikiiver pärineb 1873. aastast. Kohalikud räägivad tornist kummalist lugu: kiivri tipus asuvas munas olevat väike tuba, kus on laud ja neli tooli. Kes seal istuma peaks, seda lugu ei ütle.
