Parnu Mud Baths

Description: Pärnu Mud Baths The neo-classicist building of the Mud Baths is one of the most important symbols of the Pärnu resort.

It was built in 1926-1927 in place of a bathing house that was burned down in World War I.

The history of the Pärnu Mud Baths, but also of the resort can however be tracked down to the year 1838 when the bathing house by the sea offered warm sea baths in the summer and hot sauna in the winter.

The resort started to develop rapidly in the 1890s.

In the Soviet era, the so-called temple of health started to serve the health of the working people; after Estonia’s independence, it became deserted and lost its function. Now, however, a new owner has been found and perhaps it will once again become one of the main symbols of the Pärnu resort!

Tallinn Gate Parnu

Description: The so called Tallinn Gate used to mark the beginning of the postal road from Pärnu to Tallinn and was built during the Swedish period in the 17th century.

The medieval fortification system of Pärnu was almost fully destroyed in the preceding Livonian War. The town was surrounded by an entrenchment and one could leave the town through the Vee värav (Water gate) which led to the riverside and into the direction of Riga.

During the teardown of the fortification in the 19th century only the Tallinn Gate was preserved, as well as the embankments and the trench that leads to the Venuse Bastion at the riverside – the so called Vallikäär.

Now visitors are welcome to walk through the monumental Baroque gate and marvel at the beautiful beach district of Pärnu.
