A few meters from the church stands the original Campanile, a simple, wood-paneled stone building. The freestanding bell tower was built in 1638 and completely renovated in 1968. He is today the only one of its kind in the Baltic States.

The village had a port in the Middle Ages that no longer exists today. However, one of the oldest churches in Estonia exists, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Michael, built in 1270.

Beyond the Horizon

Just a few steps from the historic St. Michael's Church stands the old campanile of Kihelkonna. The simple, free-standing bell tower from 1638 seems almost modest, but it tells a story all its own. Surrounded by the peaceful nature of the island of Saaremaa, the whitewashed stone building with its wooden roof invites you to pause. A brief moment to enjoy the silence and imagine how this tower called the villagers to prayer centuries ago. It is also unique - the last of its kind in the entire Baltic region. Anyone who passes by here feels the breath of the past and the power of simplicity. A detour here is definitely worth it.
