Mazirbe Evangelical Lutheran Church
The first wooden church in Mazirbe - Irbe church, was built in 1766. In 1866 the owner of Dundaga manor Teodors fon der Osten-Sacken laid the first foundation stone for the current stone church that was consecrated in 1868.
During the 1st World War (1914-1916) the Russian artillery destroyed the church tower, it was renovated in 1927. The tower rises to 36 metres and has served for the location of ships in Irbe sea narrow for the seafarers travelling along this international route. In 1964 the church was alienated from the parish. The church was abandoned and destroyed, however, the third Awakening brought the renovation also to Mazirbe church (1985 - 1988, 1997).
The church is among the most beautiful churches at the coastline of Kurzeme distinguished by tall proportions, aesthetic quality and the picturesque image.
