About

Vormsi church which dates back to the 14th century and is the main memento of its history and culture – is located in the centre of the island, in Hullo. The church was unused for a long time after the Swedish escaped from the island in the end of World War II. The church was dedicated again on Olav's Day in 1990.Be sure to take a look at the characteristic square-shaped nave and have look at the old ceiling paintings in the altar room.Interesting facts:The first church in Vormsi was a wooden church.* St. Olav’s church in Vormsi is unique for the fact that it has no belfry, the bell hangs above the door under the high ridge.* There are two gnarled pine trees at the gate of the church – this is the place where the pillory stood.
