The medieval church of St. Lawrence in Nõö is one of the oldest brick churches in Estonia. Founded in the mid-13th century, it was originally built as a fortress church and has many Gothic and Romanesque features, including its medieval arches. The exterior of the church has been modified several times during its history, notably in the 15th and 19th centuries.
The tower of Nõo church is more than 700 years old. It is the only church in Southern Estonia, whose medieval structure is almost completely preserved despite the wars throughout the centuries.
St. Lawrence is a beautiful old church and if you get lucky to be invited up to the bell tower you can experience a magnificent view of the surrounding area.
