German: Klein-St. Marien

Väike-Maarja Church

Väike-Maarja church, built in the 14th century in Gothic style, began as a fortress church, with walls of great thickness and two embrasures still visible near the western pillar. Its organ was installed by Gustav Normann in 1848 and the tall spire added in 1873. On 8 August 2010 a powerful derecho storm tore the spire off; a new one was put up in 2012. Glass artist Riho Hütt restored the stained glass in 2002 and made the 'Hyperdulia' rose window in 2003. The churchyard holds graves of the Krusenstern family of explorers and of the family of the wrestler Georg Lurich.

Eesti keeles

14. sajandil gooti stiilis ehitatud Väike-Maarja kirik oli algselt kindluskirik – väga paksude müüridega ja kahe laskeavaga lääneosa piilari lähedal, mis on tänini näha. Oreli paigaldas Gustav Normann 1848. aastal ja kõrge torn lisati 1873. aastal. 8. augustil 2010 rebis võimas tormipuhang torni maha, uus püstitati 2012. aastal. Klaasikunstnik Riho Hütt restaureeris 2002. aastal vitraažid ja valmistas 2003. aastal roosakna „Hyperdulia“. Kirikaias on maadeavastajate Krusensternide ja maadleja Georg Lurichi perekonna hauad.
