Pärnu Kuursaal

Pärnu, Estonia

Built in the 1880s, Kuursaal (Casino), a restaurant and musical salon, has always been an important centre of Pärnu's resort life. In summer evenings, most events have taken place outside, around the outdoor stage.

The outdoor stage, designed by the city architect O. Siinmaa in 1936, was an elegant interpretation of Pärnu's "resort functionalism" in wood. As a result of the renovations carried out in 1980s, it unfortunately lost a lot of its former elegance.

Today, you can enjoy music and dance nights to complement your dinner here, in the largest pub in Estonia; beach sounds on the terraces in the summer, and music as beautiful as ever at the outdoor stage.

Cheapest drinks near the beach but if you want to eat then the service is really slow. We had to wait 25+ minutes just to give our order. People who came before us could ordere earlier.

It took more than 1hr to bring onion rings and then it turned out that there was a mix up and I’m not getting my main dish. After 1 HOUR! Had to eat my friend’a food, which wasn’t tasty at all. Waiters looked 16 y.o. and didn’t seem to care about anything. Surprised to find such a bad place in the middle of Pärnu.

La Hougue Bie

La Hougue Bie is a Neolithic ritual site which was in use around 3500 BC. Hougue is a Jèrriais/Norman language word meaning a \'mound\' and comes from the Old Norse word haugr. The site consists of 18.6m long passage chamber covered by a 12.2m high mound. The site was first excavated in 1925 by the Société Jersiaise. Fragments of twenty vase supports were found along with the scattered remains of at least eight individuals. Gravegoods, mostly pottery, were also present. At some time in the past, the site had evidently been entered and ransacked.

In Western Europe, it is one of the largest and best preserved passage graves and the most impressive and best preserved monument of Armorican Passage Grave group. Although they are termed \'passage graves\', they were ceremonial sites, whose function was more similar to churches or cathedrals, where burials were incidental.
