The church, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, was built in the 17th century on the ruins of the former Franciscan monastery church. The church was destroyed and rebuilt several times during various wars.
The church remained in use after World War II, but was closed in 1950 and converted into a warehouse. The church was re-consecrated in 1992 and is also used extensively as a concert hall. Interesting facts: The church features an altar table designed by Aivar Oja and stained-glass windows by Renee Aua. The tapestries were woven by local textile artist Prof. Anu Raud, whose work "Emapuu" is on display at the UN headquarters in New York.
