Tips

Beyond the Horizon

October 11, 2024

The architecture in Pärnu tells a story that spans centuries at every turn. The classic wooden houses are particularly impressive, with their charm that preserves a piece of bygone times. Here you can feel the transition from medieval simplicity to modern functionality. It is remarkable how these historic buildings are integrated into the modern cityscape.

The streets alternate between picturesque alleys and more spacious squares, which give you a touch of Nordic architecture. What is special about Pärnu is how the old wooden buildings - some with half-timbering and weathered facades - continue to be used, be it as homes, cafés or boutiques. Many of them date from the 18th and 19th centuries and bear the typical features of Estonian wooden architecture: practical construction combined with loving details.

One of the most fascinating aspects is the variety of styles. In addition to the traditional wooden houses, you can also find Art Nouveau elements, such as at the old town hall. It is as if the city is juxtaposing its different architectural eras without losing its identity.
