Object list
The priest of Kambja in the Bishopric of Tartu is first mentioned in 1330. The parish of Kambja is first attested in 1471. The parish is believed to have been founded by a landowner named Camby, who donated part of his estates for the church manor.
During the Livonian War in 1558, the Russians burned down Kambja Church. In 1613 it was rebuilt in stone, but without a roof. At that time, Kambja had no pastor. The church remained in a dilapidated condition, and it was not until 1642 that it was thoroughly restored. Johann Prinz is recorded in 1626 as the first Lutheran pastor.
