German: Odenpäh

Otepää Church

St Mary's in Otepää stands near the old hillfort, on the site where a church of St Michael is recorded in 1638. Its west tower and west wall were built in 1860, and the nave followed in 1889–1890 to plans by architect Reinhold Guleke. On either side of the main door are memorial plaques to the blue-black-white flag, which was consecrated here in 1884, and the Estonian Flag Museum is housed in the congregation's parsonage nearby. Inside are an organ by Ernst Carl Kessler and the 1880 altarpiece 'Golgotha' by A. Sprengel.

Eesti keeles

Otepää Maarja kirik seisab vana linnamäe lähedal kohas, kus 1638. aastal oli kirjas Miikaeli kirik. Läänetorn ja lääneseina valmisid 1860. aastal, pikihoone aastatel 1889–1890 arhitekt Reinhold Guleke projekti järgi. Peaukse kummalgi pool on mälestustahvlid sinimustvalgele lipule, mis siin 1884. aastal õnnistati, ja koguduse kirikumõisas asub Eesti lipu muuseum. Kirikus on orelimeister Ernst Carl Kessleri orel ja A. Sprengeli 1880. aasta altarimaal „Kolgata“.
