Today's church dates back to the 15th century, when a stone building replaced an older sanctuary. In the 18th century the church underwent reconstruction when the choir, sacristy and tower were added. During the celebrations of the coronation of the Russian Tsar Alexander II. they had the local nobles of Padis and Leetse raise the tower as a tribute. Due to the good location of the church on the rock, the tower also houses a small lighthouse for ships sailing along the coast. Unfortunately, it was under repair and covered with scaffolding when I visited.

A very lovely country church located a stone's throw from the beach. There is a lighthouse light in the church tower, which shows the right direction for the ships going to the port of Paldiski.
