From 18-23, visitors to the Night of Museums will be welcomed by Haapsalu's Jaani Church, a town church rebuilt from a granary and first mentioned in 1513, which has been a Lutheran church in continuous operation since 1524. The church has a stone altar wall, a rarity in northern Europe, created by Joachim Winter in 1630, and a Baroque-style pulpit with wood carvings dating from 1707. Two bells, the oldest dating from 1590, chime in the church tower.
