About this tour
This session walks Küberneri Street, past a row of wooden villas built for Pärnu's early spa visitors, and finishes outside an Art Nouveau mansion from 1905. You see the carved timber detail that marks the town's resort-era wealth, then the mansion that still stands as its landmark example. It is a short architecture-focused walk away from the beach.
I check sound at the street corner, then move slowly so the woodwork reads clearly on camera, pausing longer at the mansion for questions. A short note on Pärnu's spa-era history follows by message afterwards.
It suits anyone interested in wooden architecture or Art Nouveau design. It also works well alongside a fortifications or beach session.
Included
