In the picturesque municipality of Metsküla on the island of Saaremaa, the Metsküla Issanda Templisseviimise Church stands proudly. This sacred building, embedded in the natural landscape, is a lively example of Estonian wooden architecture. Its two towers, which in the Orthodox tradition represent the dual natures of Christ - the divine and the human - rise towards the sky and invite you to pause.
Built in 1909 by the hands of skilled local craftsmen and artists, the church was ceremoniously consecrated in 1915. Not only has it served as a spiritual hub for parishioners over the years, but it also attracts visitors from near and far. Under the spiritual leadership of Ülempreester Andreas Põld and with Olev Õun serving as community elder since 2007, the church remains a vibrant center for church services, wedding ceremonies and cultural events. A place that impresses not only with its architecture, but also with its deep spiritual meaning and community.
