Muhu St. Catherine's Church
German: Moon
St Catherine's on Muhu was founded in 1267 by Otto von Lutterberg, master of the Livonian Order, as Hermann of Wartberge's chronicle records. The first church was probably wooden, replaced by the present stone church in the last years of the 13th century; builders' marks show that the masters of nearby Karja church worked here too. It is one of the simplest medieval churches of the western islands: a single nave with no tower or sacristy. In 1941 a German air raid destroyed the roof, which was not replaced until 1958, and the years open to the sky ruined its medieval murals. It was restored after 1991 with Swedish help.

Eesti keeles
Muhu Katariina kiriku rajas 1267. aastal Liivi ordu meister Otto von Lutterberg, nagu kirjutab Wartberge Hermanni kroonika. Esimene kirik oli arvatavasti puust ja asendati praeguse kivikirikuga 13. sajandi lõpuaastatel; meistrimärgid näitavad, et siin töötasid ka lähedase Karja kiriku meistrid. See on üks lihtsamaid Lääne-Eesti saarte keskaegseid kirikuid – ühelööviline, ilma torni ja käärkambrita. 1941. aastal hävitas Saksa õhurünnak katuse, mis asendati alles 1958. aastal, ja katuseta aastad rikkusid keskaegsed seinamaalingud parandamatult. Pärast 1991. aastat restaureeriti kirik Rootsi toel.
