Torma Church
German: Tormahof
Torma's St Mary's church in Vanamõisa village was built in 1755–1766 and is still used by the Lutheran congregation. Many Estonians know its bell tower without ever having visited: this is where the bell-tower scenes with the boys Arno and Lible were filmed for 'Spring' (Kevade), the much-loved 1969 film of Oskar Luts's novel about village schoolboys. The church's weathercock, old door and churchyard pavilion are among the details visitors can still see today.

Eesti keeles
Vanamõisa külas asuv Torma Maarja kirik ehitati aastatel 1755–1766 ja seda kasutab endiselt luterlik kogudus. Paljud eestlased tunnevad selle kellatorni, ilma et oleksid siin kunagi käinud: just siin filmiti 1969. aasta armastatud filmi „Kevade“ kellatornistseenid Arno ja Liblega, Oskar Lutsu romaani järgi külakoolipoiste elust. Külastaja näeb ka kiriku tornikukke, vana ust ja kirikuaia paviljoni.
