Viru-Jaagupi Church
Viru-Jaagupi church received its church lands from a series of Livonian Order masters, from Johann von Mengden in 1453 to Wolter von Plettenberg in 1504, and was first mentioned in 1473 as a chapel of St Mary's in Rakvere. No one knows exactly when it was built. Russian troops destroyed it at the end of the 16th century, and it was rebuilt only in 1669; in the Great Northern War Russian troops set it alight again in 1703 and 1708. It was restored and renewed in 1877–1878.

Eesti keeles
Viru-Jaagupi kirik sai kirikumaid mitmelt Liivi ordu meistrilt, alates Johann von Mengdenist 1453. aastal kuni Wolter von Plettenbergini 1504. aastal, ning seda mainiti esmakordselt 1473. aastal Rakvere Saksa Maarja kiriku abikirikuna. Täpset ehitusaega ei tea keegi. 16. sajandi lõpul hävitasid kiriku Vene väed ja see ehitati üles alles 1669. aastal; Põhjasõjas süütasid Vene väed selle taas 1703. ja 1708. aastal. Kirik taastati ja uuendati aastatel 1877–1878.
