Karja Church

Saaremaa Rural Municipality, Estonia · built 1201

Karja Church (Estonian: Karja kirik) is a medieval Lutheran church located in the Linnaka village on Saaremaa island, Estonia. It is the rural church with the richest medieval stone sculpture decoration in all the Baltic states. The church and the rectory are located on a higher plateau, at the foot of which there is a small body of water, which is also visible on 18th-century maps. To the north of the church is the Kalmu field, where there were probably stone graves. It has also been assumed that before the church the place had already been considered sacred.
