In 1255, the German Order started the construction of a stone fortress-church. Initially lacking a steeple, the arched stone church was completed in the 14th century; construction of the steeple started in 1770. After it renovation in the 19th century, Crosses of Malta were painted on the walls that are primarily associated with the membership of the Ungern-Sternberg family members in this Order.\r\n\r\nInteresting fact:\r\nOne of the inauguration crosses has survived on the wall of the choir room. An unusual stone pulpit was given to the P\u00fchalepa Church by the Hiiesaare manor lords, the Gentschiens in 1636.The burial chapel of the von Stenbock family is in the churchyard.\r\n\r\nThe P\u00fcThe patron Saint of this church is Saint Laurentius \u2013 Protector against fire and guardian of the poor and destitute.\r\n\r\nThis first stone church was built before 1260 and was considered a safe haven. The church was vaulted in the end of 1200s \u2013 early 1300s with three vaults.\r\n\r\nThe initial rectangular size of the church was 9 x 22 m with no windows on the north side. This Gothic style church replicates those found on Gotland, Sweden.\r\n\r\nThe earliest document that mentions the parish P\u00fchalepa is from 1470.\r\n\r\nThe early building materials were mainly fieldstone with the outer corners faced with limestone and with no visible base. Initially, there was also no sacristy or steeple.\r\n\r\nIn 1575, during the Livonian war, the church was destroyed to ruins by the Russians attacking from Haapsalu.\r\n\r\nIn the early 1600s was the church rebuilt. A new triumphal arch and gables were added.\r\n\r\nThe late Renaissance stone pulpit, designed and constructed by Joachim Winter has been in the church since 1636.\r\n\r\nIn the second half of the 18th century, the church was thoroughly renovated. The steeple, sanctuary and the choir loft, all got their current shape during this building period. New neo-gothic windows were opened in the north wall and a large steep pitched window was added to the choir loft. The total length of the building was now 41.5 x 13 metres as it is today. In 1874, the steeple height was topped and a neo-gothic cupola added to cap its current height of 38.1 metres.\r\n\r\nThe churchyard is home to the two remaining, partly preserved sun crosses of Hiiumaa and Saaremaa, a disk-shaped cross, the small baroque cemetery chapel of the foundress of the Suurem\u00f5isa manor house, Ebba Margaretha Stenbock (1704\u22121775), tombstones for Suurem\u00f5isa\u2019s gentlemen and other interesting grave markers from the 18th and 19th century.\r\n\r\nIn the post-war years, the church was used for storage.","lisakirjeldus":"","lahtiolekuajad":"
