Haapsalu Cathedral dates from the mid-13th century. It is one of the largest single-nave churches in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The church was damaged by a fire in 1688, and during a storm in 1726 the roof of the church was destroyed again. During the restoration work that took place in 1886-1889, the building was modified, the Romanesque portal was replaced by a pseudo-Gothic portal and the fragments of preserved wall paintings were covered.

The Church of St. Nicholas is a Gothic church built in the second half of the 13th century. In 1760, a rectangular western tower with a baroque portal was completed. There is a church garden around the church, where there are several objects recognised as cultural monuments.
