St. Elizabeth's Church, Lutheran church in Pärnu, Estonia

St. Elizabeth's Church features a Baroque architectural design with a tall spire and grand proportions, incorporating neo-Gothic interior decorations and a south transept.

The church construction began in 1744 after Russian Empress Elizabeth donated 8,000 roubles, with master builder J. H. Güterbock from Riga completing the structure in 1747.

The church maintains an active role in the community through regular Lutheran services, weddings, and gatherings that connect local residents with their spiritual heritage.

Visitors can access the church through Nikolai street in Pärnu, where they can observe the 1929 organ and the resurrection-themed altarpiece created in Rotterdam.

The church spire, designed by J. H. Wülbern, shares architectural elements with St. Peter's Church in Riga and was added to the structure in 1750.
