Dārte Evangelical Lutheran Church

Nowadays Darte church (1895-1896) is a small stone building with some Classicism style features and ascetic interior; the church is an integral part of the surrounding landscape. It is a massive elongated single-nave building with a polygonal choir, a sacristy attached to the end of the building, and a massive, salient rectangle bell tower. The interior furnishings have survived from the end of the 19^th century. The altar is made in classical shapes, it is simple, made of wood and has a gilded panel outline. The altar painting “Christ” was painted at the end of the 19^th century. Martins Kreslins (Mārtiņš Krēsliņš), an organ builder from Jekabpils, made the organ in 1899. On the right side of the entrance on the wall there is a stone with year number “1600” – hypothetically this stone has remained from the first church. The North corner is decorated with ornaments that are made of tiny stones.
