Nõva Break offers rye bread and sourdough bread workshops upon reservation. We have studied the exciting craft of bread baking for twelve years. By now, we have baked tens of thousands of loaves and we still do it with great pleasure! The Nõva Break building can accommodate 5–6 people, but we can come to you with our materials and supplies. You only need a large table and an oven. The workshop includes a bit of theory and baking with the help of a tutor. We will provide the instructions and the fermentation starter.

Nõva Church

Olev’s Church in Nõva originating from the 18th century is a cosy wooden beach-chapel-style church. The unique parchment images on its windows look like real stained glass at first glance. It is one of the few wooden churches preserved in Estonia, and also one of the smallest, measuring at only 13.6 x 7.1 metres. When walking around in the churchyard, take a closer look at the iron crosses there. The crosses made by local blacksmiths are all unique – even the landlady von Ungern-Sternberg of Nõva Manor made herself her own cross. Interesting facts: When inside, take a look at the benches – benches for men and women have a different design. On top of the roof, there is a figure of a rooster. The organ was built by G.Terkmann.
