About
Of the interior of the church which dates back to the 13th century one should pay attention to the pulpit, chandeliers, organ, altar painting, H. Goseken’s epitaph and triumphal arch group.Interesting facts:In the churchyard you will see Estonia’s oldest wheel cross which reads Sitta Kodt Matz. According to a legend Matz had been gathering horse droppings, then fertilised the field with those and then he grew mighty rye there. He became so rich that he could get himself buried in the churchyard.Estonia’s first professional composer Rudolf Tobias (1873-1918) is buried in the churchyard.Nearby you will find Kullamaa Rohumagi – Estonians’ for of nearly 2000 m2 dating back to the 11th-12th centuries.Kullamaa is also the place where the oldest Estonian language signs were found.

Big church full of local history. Use the chance to climb to bell tower, nice views. Well kept churchyard. Friendly people. Look for Sitta Kodt Mats grave.
