Ave Sol

The Early Classical-style church was modeled after the orthodox church in Parnu. The building features a typical orthodox church plan with an attached tower and central dome. In 1836, the Peter and Paul Church became a cathedral, the first one in the Baltic governorate. In the second half of the 19th century two orthodox priests were buried here - Bishop Benjamins and Bishop Filafets. In 1987, the building was renovated and re-organised as a concert hall in accordance with the project of architect E.Mengele and was named Ave Sol. The interior design features a partially renovated wall and ceiling paintings from the 19th century.
