                  <text>Built in 1704-1705 in the former Renda parish of the district of Kuldīga near Usmas Lake as a branch of the Renda Lutheran parish. Re-erected in the museum in 1935.&#13;
On Sunday divine service and ceremonies such as christening, confirmation and marriage took place in the church. Corvée and impost, as well as fines for disobedience were also announced in the church.&#13;
The interior of the church consists of six areas – nave, three vestries for clergymen and the participants of the ceremonies, anteroom, and an open porch, which serves as a bell tower. The interior design, wooden ornamentation and plafond are the specimens of the 18th century art - they represent the peasant baroque style.&#13;
The building continues to serve its primary function at the museum 300 years after it was built. At present the church is operated by the Lutheran congregation of Bergi.&#13;

Celta 1704.-1705. gadā bijušā Kuldīgas apriņķa Rendas pagastā Usmas ezera krastā kā Rendas luterāņu draudzes filiālbaznīca. Muzejā kopš 1935. gada.&#13;
Svetdienās baznīcā notika dievkalpojumi un dažādas baznīcas ceremonijas – kristības, iesvētības, laulības u.c. Šeit zemniekiem paziņoja klaušanas, nodevas un par pārkāpumiem piespiestos sodus.&#13;
Ēkā sešas telpas: lūgšanu telpa ar balkonu (luktām), mācītāja ģērbkambaris altāra galā, divi ģērbkambari kāznieku un kristībnieku vajadzībām pie baznīcas ieejas, priekšnams un vaļējs lievenis, kura konstrukcija kalpo arī zvana iekāršanai. Baznīcas iekārtojums, kokgriezumi un griestu gleznojumi ir 18. gadsimta mākslas paraugi - tie raksturo zemnieku baroka stilu.&#13;
Šobrīd baznīcā darbojas Berģu luterāņu draudze.</text>

The museum collects documents and preserves the objects of folk building monuments of Latvian historical and ethnographical regions, along with evidence of the way of life and culture of the rural population, characteristic to the period from the 17th century until 30-ies of the 20th century.&#13;

Fotogrāfijas, apraksti, un rezultāti no aptaujām un intervijām ar muzeja pārstāvjiem un apmeklētājiem, kuri tika apkopoti Etnogrāfiskajā Brīvdabas Muzejā Latvijā. Šī virtuālā ekspozīcija tiek piedāvāta Angļu un Latviešu valodās.&#13;
Lēmumu par Brīvdabas muzeja dibināšanu pieņēma 1924. gadā, bet 1932. gadā apmeklētājiem tika atvērta pirmā brīvdabas ekspozīcija Baltijā - Vidzemes sēta. Patlaban muzejs aizņem 87ha lielu platību priežu mežā Juglas ezera krastā. Uz muzeju pārvestas, uzstādītas un iekārtotas 118 senas celtnes no visiem vēsturiskajiem Latvijas novadiem – Kurzemes, Vidzemes, Zemgales un Latgales no 17. gadsimta beigām līdz 20. gadsimta 30. gadu otrajai pusei. &#13;
Muzejā izveidotas latviešu zemnieku, amatnieku un zvejnieku sētas. Visās apskatāma pastāvīgā ekspozīcija – sadzīves un darba priekšmeti, interjera iekārtojums, kas raksturo laika posmu, novadu un mājas saimnieku nodarbošanos. Apmeklētāji var iepazīties ar Kurzemē dzīvojošo lībiešu zvejnieku, Latgales krievu vecticībnieku saimniecībām. &#13;
Muzejā strādā amatnieki, svin latviešu gadskārtu ieražu svētkus, izstāžu zālē var skatīt tautas lietišķās mākslas studiju un muzeja krājuma materiālu izstādes.</text>
