Church or chapel
Sangaste Church
German: Sagnitz
Sangaste's St Andrew's church was first mentioned in 1379, and few Estonian churches have been destroyed so often: it was wrecked in 1582 and again in 1630, and burned to the ground on 18 July 1702 during the Great Northern War. A temporary wooden church served until the present stone church was completed in 1742. Its classicist doorway with segmental pediment and Tuscan pilasters dates from 1861, and the wooden neo-baroque gable tower from 1873. The 'Golgotha' altarpiece was painted in Munich in 1883, and the Kriisa brothers built the organ in 1924.

Eesti keeles
Sangaste Andrease kirikut mainiti esmakordselt 1379. aastal ja vähe on Eesti kirikuid, mida on nii sageli hävitatud: see purustati 1582. ja uuesti 1630. aastal ning põletati Põhjasõjas 18. juulil 1702 maha. Ajutine puukirik teenis kuni 1742. aastani, mil valmis praegune kivikirik. Segmentfrontooni ja Toscana pilastritega klassitsistlik peauks pärineb 1861. aastast ja puidust uusbarokne viilutorn 1873. aastast. Altarimaal „Kolgata“ valmis 1883. aastal Münchenis ning oreli ehitasid vennad Kriisad 1924. aastal.
