About
The Puhalepa Church is Hiiumaa’s oldest stone church. In 1255, the German Order started the construction of a stone fortress-church. Initially lacking a steeple, the arched stone church was completed in the 14th century; construction of the steeple started in 1770. After it renovation in the 19th century, Crosses of Malta were painted on the walls that are primarily associated with the membership of the Ungern-Sternberg family members in this Order. Interesting fact: – One of the inauguration crosses has survived on the wall of the choir room. – An unusual stone pulpit was given to the Puhalepa Church by the Hiiesaare manor lords, the Gentschiens in 1636. – The burial chapel of the von Stenbock family is in the churchyard.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Kyrkan står några hundra meter norr om den Stora Herrgården och är byggd under sent 1100 - tal. Ett Mausoleum står på kyrkans Östra sida,där Ebba - Margareta Stenbock vilar. På kyrkans Östra sida fanns ingångsport för kvinnor men den har murats igen !

Церковь Пюхалепа - старейшая на Хииумаа церковь, построенная из камня. Всё как всегда скромно тихо. Есть большой витраж. Возле церкви кладбище и капелла семьи фон Стенбок.

Heltermaan satamasta vähän matkaa, niin tien oikealla puolella on Puhelepan valkoiseksi rapattu kirkko. Se on Viron vanhin kivikirkko. Valitettavasti ovet olivat kiinni, niin ollen emme päässeet sisälle tutustumaan. Se on aikanaan ollut viljavarastonakin.

Tyvärr är det som i Sverige att man inte kan ha kyrkorna öppna på grund av stöldrisken. Dagös äldsta kyrka, risig kyrkogård och vad man kunde se inne i kyrkan, inget speciellt.

Stenkyrkan har förändrets,förstörts och återuppbyggts åtskilliga gånger. Det finns även en ingång mitt på östra väggen -den var enbart för kvinnor för utanför den lilla kyrkdörren samlades kvinnorna för att berätta vad som försiggått i byn ! I dag använder alla huvudingången ! Bakom kyrkan finns ett litet Mausoleum där graven efter Ebba-Margaretha Stenbock finns ! Puhalepa har Dagö`s mest kända folkdräkter !

Historien förtäljer att utanför kyrkan finns kända personer ur den kända adelsfamiljen de La Gardie/ Stenbock . Mycket gammal kyrkogård men själva kyrkan är renoverad på senare tid. Olika ingångar för män respektive kvinnor. I dag användes bara den ena ingången !
