Tips

The church was completed in 1863 and consecrated in 1864. It is one of the few churches in Estonia to be built by the villag- ers themselves. The organ was built in 1813 by the Southern German organ master Johann Andreas Stein for the Tallinn Swedish St Michael's Church. The organ actually goes back even further than that, having been converted from the organ built for the St Nicholas' Church in Tallinn in 1613. In 1849, the organ was transferred to the church in Kadrina, and from there it was transported on sleighs to Käsmu in the winter of 1896. Schoolmaster Jaan Timoleon modified the organ for a better fit and installed it in March 1896. It was thoroughly restored in 2010-11. The restoration work revealed that fragments of historical documents from the 14th and 15th centuries had been used to make its wind channels more airtight. The copies of these can now be viewed in the church.

A number of renovations projects have been carried out since 2010.

We had a very pleasant encounter with the Protestant pastor, who comes to a service every morning. Usually alone, but often with other believers, with whom he sensitively adapts the service, using different languages.
