Endla Theatre
Endla Theatre is one of Pärnu’s cultural landmarks, carrying a legacy that reaches far beyond the city itself. Founded in 1911, the original wooden theatre quickly became a centre of national identity. It was here, on 23 February 1918, that the Manifesto to the Peoples of Estonia was first publicly proclaimed—one day before Estonia declared independence. This moment forever tied Endla to the birth of the Estonian state. The original building, admired for its elegant wooden architecture, was tragically destroyed during the Second World War. Yet the spirit of Endla endured. A new theatre rose in 1967, reflecting modernist design while honouring the institution’s historic role. Today it remains one of Estonia’s leading regional theatres, known for its diverse repertoire ranging from contemporary drama to classic Estonian works.
Pärnu Estonia
Endla Theatre is located at Keskväljak 1 in the center of Pärnu, on the city’s main square. It is one of the most important cultural buildings in town and a well-known place for theatre performances, concerts, and other events. The theatre is close to several interesting sights, so it works well as part of a walking tour of central Pärnu. Nearby you can see St. Catherine’s Church, Pärnu Town Hall, and the historic old town streets. Lastepark is also close by, giving the area a pleasant green space for a short break.
