The altarpiece of Vastseliina Church in southern Estonia has been successfully restored and reinstalled in the church, marking the completion of what is a significant cultural heritage project for the region.

The painting, which holds both religious and historical importance for the local community, underwent professional restoration work before being returned to its rightful place above the altar. Such restoration efforts are vital for preserving Estonia's rich church art heritage, much of which dates back several centuries.

Vastseliina, located in Võru Parish in southeastern Estonia, is home to one of the country's notable medieval heritage sites, including the ruins of Vastseliina Bishop's Castle. The church and its artworks form an integral part of the cultural and spiritual life of the surrounding community.
