Otepää Church

The Otepää Maarja Lutheran Church was built in 1890 and represents the Gothic revival style. On 4th June 1884 the blue-black-white flag of the Estonian Students’ Society was consecrated in the church, which later on became the flag of the nation and in 1992 the official national flag of Estonia. The bas-reliefs of the flag, the author of which is sculptor Voldemar Mellik, were opened on the church wall in 1934 (on the 50th anniversary of the national flag). The bas-reliefs were destroyed in 1950 and restored by sculptor Mati Variku and opened again on 15th July 1989.
