Sindi Orthodox Church
German: Zintenhof
Sindi's Orthodox Church of the Theophany on Pärnu road was finished in 1899, paid for by the Moscow merchant R. Schön and the Sindi cloth factory, and consecrated the same year by Bishop Agafangel of Riga and Mitau. With its bell tower, octagonal onion-domed ridge turret and rich outside decoration drawing on Moscow baroque, the red-brick church was the grandest building in the little factory town. After the congregation was abolished in 1962 it began to decay; it still had four towers in the 1980s, but in the early 1990s the dome over the crossing was removed and replaced with a flat roof.

Eesti keeles
Sindi Pärnu maanteel asuv Jumalailmumise õigeusu kirik valmis 1899. aastal Moskva kaupmehe R. Schöni ja Sindi kalevivabriku kulul ning selle pühitses samal aastal Riia ja Miitavi piiskop Agafangel. Kellatorni, kaheksatahulise sibulkiivriga haritorni ja Moskva baroki elementidega rikkaliku välisdekooriga punastest tellistest kirik oli väikese vabrikulinna esinduslikem hoone. Pärast koguduse likvideerimist 1962. aastal hakkas kirik lagunema; 1980. aastatel oli sellel veel neli torni, kuid 1990. aastate alguses eemaldati nelitise kohal olev kuppel ja asendati sirge katusega.
