| Additional information |
Tartu's St. Mary's Church — known locally as Jaani kirik — is one of the finest examples of Baltic Gothic brick architecture, distinguished by an extraordinary programme of terracotta figurines embedded in its façade, a feature almost without parallel in northern Europe. Construction began in the 14th century and the building was left roofless after Soviet-era neglect before a decades-long restoration project finally returned it to use in 2005.
