Built: 17th century – 1994A chapel with an artistic dolomite altar and secco wall paintings (Eva Janes) built under an ancient mantle chimney during the restoration of the bishop’s house.The construction history of the building of the EELC Consistory, i.e. the so-called bishop’s house, dates back to the last decades of the 17th century, containing at the same time also certain details from the Middle Ages. Thus the three-and-a-half-century old tradition of the Estonian bishops’ residence has been restored in this place and the exile story that lasted for almost fifty years has come to an end.
