A wooden church was built here in 1766, and the new brick church was built on the foundations of the old church and consecrated in 1868. The tall steeple of the church helped ship captains orient themselves during the daytime. An altar painting by Gunta Liepiņa-Grīva, "Christ and Peter on the Sea," was consecrated in 1993 to replace the former painting, which was lost. The blue-white-green Livonian flag was consecrated at the Mazirbe manse (now a recollection centre) on November 18, 1923. Near the manse are several rocks which stand witness to the Black Plague in 1710 and 1711. The text in Latin said that Livonians on the coastline were conquered by Swedish King Karl IX and the bubonic plague. The texts on the rocks have eroded away, but records of them were made. The Mazirbe cemetery has a monument to Old Taisel, a monument to the parents of captain A. Bertholds, and the legendary grave of a werewolf. |
