About
Otepaa Maarja Lutheran Church is historically connected to the national flag of Estonia. The blue, black and white flag of the Estonian Student Union, which later became the national flag and in 1991 the official flag of the state of Estonia, was consecrated in the rectory of the church on 4 June 1884. Pay attention to the bar reliefs commemorating the event next to the entrance of the church and the interior with its English-style neo-gothic décor. Maaraj Church was given its current appearance in the middle of the 19th century. The doors of the church are open to everyone in summer. Services are held at 11 am on Sundays.

The Otepää Church was quite old, but it also was beautiful and cozy. The church was decorated with white flowers, I guess that there was a wedding held there.

This Church holds a great deal of local significance but unfortunately was not open the day we visited. Some information is posted in English outside.
