Krape Lutheran church

The beginning of 18th century marks the time when the Northern War took place. After the war Vidzeme, including Krape, came under the Russian rule. In 1804 the Krape Lutheran church was built. The fundamental of this wooden building was put in 1802, but it was rebuilt into the stone church from 1856 to 1857. The altar painting "Christ in the Getzemene garden" was painted by Kārlis Fridrihs Huns. During Soviet Union time there was a grain warehouse, as well as an apartment. Later a concert hall was founded here. Today it is the local architectural monument.
