Chapel of Osmussaar

In 2014 the chapel along with the cemetery of Osmussaar was declared a national heritage site.

As the island of Osmussaar rises 3 mm per year, the chapel now stands 1.5 km North of the port.

[1] In 1852 a figurehead of Martin Luther reading the Bible was installed on the chapel gate.

On the wall of the chapel there is a plate with the names of the seven families who were forced to leave the island in 1940 to make room for the Red Army.

The chapel was damaged during World War II and only the facade with the tower is still standing.
