context_page_description: Paide Holy Cross Church is a Lutheran church in Paide, Estonia.
  Church existed in Paide in medieval times, but was destroyed in 1573 during the siege of Weissenstein. It was replaced with a wooden church, which was burnt down by Russian forces in 1703 during the Great Northern War.
  In the 1730s a small church was erected, replaced by a stone church built between 1767 and 1786. The church tower was built exceptionally to the southern side of the church to bond the church with the market square into a single architectural ensemble.
  There was a fire in the church on May 10, 1845. A large fundraising was set up to pay for restoration works.
  During 1909–1910 the church underwent a larger reconstruction.
