St. Elizabeth's Church

St. Elizabeth's Church is a house of worship featuring Baroque external design with a distinctive tall tower in Pärnu. Inside, the space contains neo-Gothic decorative elements, a transept on the south side, and a notable organ from the 20th century.

Construction began in the 1740s following a generous donation and was completed within a few years. The tower was added later and shaped the church's appearance as we see it today.

The church serves as a focal point for the community in Pärnu, hosting regular worship services, weddings, and gatherings that keep local spiritual traditions alive. People gather here to mark important moments in their lives and connect with their faith.

You can reach the building via streets in central Pärnu and view the architecture from outside. The interior is usually open to visitors when no services or private events are taking place.

The church's tower was designed by an architect who also worked on other important religious buildings in the region. This connection to other structures shows how influential this design became in Baltic architecture.
