Maarja-Magdaleena Church

The fieldstone church of Maarja-Magdaleena in northern Tartu county was first mentioned in 1380 as a chapel of Palamuse parish, and was probably built in the 14th or 15th century as a three-aisled church without a choir. The wars of the 16th century left most of it in ruins, and once a year the pastor of Palamuse came to preach between its surviving walls. Rebuilding began in 1642, when the parish got its own pastor. In 1885–1887 the church was thoroughly rebuilt in neo-Gothic style, lengthened to the east and given its west tower; it seats 700.

Eesti keeles

Põhja-Tartumaal asuvat Maarja-Magdaleena maakivikirikut nimetati esmakordselt 1380. aastal Palamuse koguduse abikirikuna ja see ehitati arvatavasti 14. või 15. sajandil kolmelöövilise kooriruumita hoonena. 16. sajandi sõdades hävis suur osa kirikust ning kord aastas tuli Palamuse õpetaja säilinud müüride vahele jutlust pidama. Uue kiriku ehitamist alustati 1642. aastal, kui kihelkond sai oma pastori. Aastatel 1885–1887 ehitati kirik uusgooti stiilis põhjalikult ümber, seda pikendati itta ja lisati läänetorn; istekohti on 700.
