Rapla Maarja-Magdaleena Church

Rapla Church is the only rural church in Estonia with two towers.
The current Neo-Romanesque style building, consecrated in 1901, was designed by Baltic German architect Rudolf von Engelhardt and is one of the finest examples of this style in Estonia.
The pulpit and altar were crafted in the workshops of Christian Ackermann and Quirinnius Rabe.
The limestone building can accommodate 3,000 people. In the church, you can hear an organ made by Estonia’s renowned organ builders, the Kriisa brothers.

In the churchyard, you can see 17th-century ring crosses and the War of Independence monument designed by Estonian sculptor Jaan Koort.
