The Orthodox Church of the Dormition of the Mother of God of Tahkuranna<\/strong>, located near the Mirteli tourist farm, was completed in 1872. The Tahkuranna Church is architecturally quite rare in Estonia, as it was built using red brick without any earthen stones<\/strong>. In the case of Orthodox churches, they are traditionally used together. In addition, while the colorful wall surface of Orthodox churches is usually obtained by using different materials, in the case of Tahkuranna, protruding and receding surfaces, cornices, lintels, etc. are used.
In the interior of the sanctuary, you can admire the domed ceilings, mirror vaults and ceiling paintings<\/strong>. <\/p>

Interesting to know!<\/a> The first president of the Republic of Estonia, Konstantin P\u00e4ts<\/strong>, was baptized in Tahkuranna Church.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
