Tuhala Church
Tuhala's church at Kata, near Kose, was built in 1775–1777 and named the Church of Charles after the local manor lord, Carl Johann Mellin. In 1863 the baroque church was partly reworked in neo-Gothic style and given a massive west tower. Its pulpit-altar, a combined pulpit and altar unique in Estonia, is older than the church itself: it was made around 1600 for a preaching chapel that stood in Tuhala cemetery. The organ, built by Gustav Normann in 1849, came from Kose church.

Kose lähedal Kata külas asuv Tuhala kirik ehitati aastatel 1775–1777 ja sai Tuhala mõisniku Carl Johann Mellini järgi nimeks Kaarli kirik. 1863. aastal ehitati barokne kirik osaliselt uusgooti stiilis ümber ja lääneküljele lisati massiivne torn. Eestis ainukordne kantsel-altar on vanem kui kirik ise: see valmis umbes 1600. aastal Tuhala kalmistul asunud jutlusekabeli jaoks. 1849. aastal Gustav Normanni ehitatud orel toodi Kose kirikust.
