Great little family run restaurant which is currently closed but still open for hungry patrons. Very great hospitality!!!!! The grilled meat, sausages, freshly made salad and house wine were exquisite. Thanks very much.

Tori Mois In the Middle Ages, Tori (German: Torgel) was the main manor of the main administrative office of Pärnu. First mentioned in 1528. The Tory estate belonged to the state for many centuries. After the destruction of the Northern War in 1738, a small archaic wooden main building of the estate was erected. The main building is one of the oldest surviving wooden manor buildings in Estonia. It has been preserved almost in its original form, with the exception of a wing added to the rear in the 19th century and the distribution of window frames changed in the same century. In 1820, the Tori state estate was leased to the Knights of Livonia, who opened a stud farm here in 1854. In the 1850s, a powerful stable complex was built at Tory, whose historic, beautiful gate building dates from 1856. Tory became famous thanks to horse breeding and breeding of Tory horses. Horse breeding, developed in the State Estate, still exists today.

Sé Catedral (Cathedral of Lisbon)

The Cathedral of Saint Mary Major, often called Lisbon Cathedral or simply the Sé, is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Lisbon, Portugal. The oldest church in the city, it is the seat of the Patriarchate of Lisbon. The cathedral has survived many earthquakes and has been modified, renovated and restored several times. It is nowadays a mix of different architectural styles. 

The site where it stands was the principal mosque of Lisbon when it was an Arab settlement. The construction of the cathedral started around 1150, three years after the city was conquered from the Moors during the Second Crusade. Shortly after the victory the English knight Gilbert of Hastings was named bishop of the city of Lisbon.

One good reason to visit the Cathedral is to visit its charming cloisters located in the back. There are several tombs in the cathedral, the most notable of which is the beautifully sculpted tomb of Lopo Fernandes Pacheco and his wife.
