Kuressaare St. Nicholas Church
The church together with the gates from dolomite and surrounding wall is under protection as architectural memory. The church built in 1790 is three-naved in low-key late classicistic style.

Interesting to know:
Church was built by order of Catherine the II. Since the congregation was established there were 30 priests.
