List of churches in Estonia
This is the List of churches in Estonia. It does not include some minor chapels or church ruins. Note that the "Year" here denotes the year that the construction of the church began or finished, when it was inaugurated, or the main construction period of the church in question.
In line with the common church naming traditions in Estonia, a traditionally Lutheran country, the Lutheran parish churches are listed by their locality name (e.g. "Aegviidu Church"), while churches of other denominations are listed by their full name. If a locality has several Lutheran churches, the official names are given. All together Estonia has 214 churches.
