About
A museum in the medieval tower in the old city centre. The Red Tower is Pärnu’s oldest surviving structure. Built in the early 15th century, the corner tower of the city wall was both a fortification and a prison. Since November 2020, the tower houses a museum. In this fascinating building you can now get acquainted with the architecture of this ancient tower and the medieval town of New-Pärnu. In the Red Tower’s panorama cinema you can watch the exciting animated movie which introduces Pärnu’s history. The museum ticket includes a panoramic cinema session and, if desired, a short introduction to the Red Tower by a museum employee.
