Haapsalu Maria-Magdaleena Church is a small Orthodox church that adds another layer to Haapsalu's old-town walk. Its timber form and modest scale contrast with the ruined bishop's castle, reminding you that this resort town was also a lived-in coastal community with several religious traditions.
It is not a sight to cross Estonia for, but it belongs naturally in a slow circuit of Haapsalu. Look for it while wandering between the waterfront, wooden houses, and the older streets; the pleasure is in the cumulative atmosphere rather than a single grand interior.
