The Ģipka Evangelical Lutheran Church
There was a time when the church was used as a navigation object for ships to determine their location.
1992 started ambitious church restoration works. The church was restored from complete ruins by the head of the parish, Valdis Rande. Thanks to his entrepreneurship and work abilities, today it is possible to see the church as it is, with its museum exposition "The Story of the Gipka Church", with the "Garden of Souls" near the church and the restored "Kroņa bath".

1.2 km to the south of the centre of Ģipka and on the side of the Jūrmala-Kolka road (P131), this church makes it hard to believe that the rock church was built very recently – after 1992, because it was burned down during the Soviet occupation in 1979. Ironically, the Dundaga forestry fire safety post was housed in the steeple of the church after World War II. The ornate altar and organ were destroyed in the fire, but the altar painting, “Christ on the Cross,” was saved. The church is now once again open for business.
