St John's Church

In 1901 Nikolai von Glehn established a workshop on the plot of the present-day Nomme Rahu Kirik.In 1904 Glehn offered the bankrupt foundry building to the fraternity of the Moravians for holding their prayer meetings. This was the beginning of Christian service in this building. Since 1905 religious services have been held in the building. In 1913 Manfred von Glehn gives the house of prayer along with the plot to the church as a present. In 1922 the Consistory approves an independent Lutheran congregation in Nomme.In 1924 the plenary meeting of Nomme Church decides to name the church as Rahu Church.In 1930 the building is reconstructed into a church on the basis of a design by architect F. Wendach.

The Church of the Redeemer in the heart of Nomme is a lovely stone church that was designed by renowned architect Robert Natus. Completed in 1932, its construction had been championed by the then Nomme German Church Association pastor von Hoerchelmann. After the Germans left Estonia in 1939, the church was used for some time by the Paldiski congregation of Keila church. With ownership reforms it was returned to the German congregation, who gifted it to the 'Nomme Rahu' Lutheran congregation in 2003.
