Internal view

Paluküla Church had 100 seats. There was no pastorate or graveyard near the church, just a church in a woodland close to the road. In 1939, the Soviet military used the building as a warehouse and the tower as a lookout position. After the Second World War, the building was not active as a church and it served as a warehouse while being gradually abandoned until, in 1989, the tower was ruined by a fire.[1]

The church functions as a rear sea mark in range with  [et].[2]
