Randvere Church

Randvere's St Peter's church in Viimsi parish was begun in 1848 and finished in 1852, but the spot was holy ground before that: a cemetery already lay here, and the oldest known stone cross in it is dated 1803. For seventy years the church was a chapel of ease of Jõelähtme parish, until in 1923 the congregation became independent and was served by the pastor of St John's in Tallinn. It is still used by the Lutheran congregation today.

Eesti keeles

Viimsi vallas asuva Randvere Peetri kiriku ehitamist alustati 1848. aastal ja see valmis 1852. aastal, kuid paik oli püha juba varem: siin asus kalmistu, mille vanim teadaolev ristikivi kannab aastaarvu 1803. Seitsekümmend aastat oli kirik Jõelähtme koguduse abikirik, kuni kogudus 1923. aastal iseseisvus ja jäi Tallinna Jaani koguduse õpetaja teenida. Kirikut kasutab endiselt luterlik kogudus.
