Geocache Description:


Villa Ammende dates back to the last turn of the century era of economic growth when bourgeois started to prefer private residences to luxurious apartments.The villa has got its name from the Ammende family. By the end of the 19th century Ammendes had become one of the most influential and well-off families in Pärnu.The design of the villa was ordered from St. Petersburg’s architectural and construction firm Mieritz and Gerassimov. In 1904 the site preparation and construction started. On the postcard of August 1905 the building is nearly completed but without the surrounding gardens and the fence.World War I and the Russian Revolution gave a serious blow to the family’s economic situation which lead to a total failure. In 1928 Jacob Diedrich Ammende’s trade office was liquidated and most of the real-estate went under the hammer. Villa Ammende was sold to the Town of Pärnu in 1927.It was used as a casino till 1940 when it went to the hands of Russian Army. During the German occupation the building was used as an officers’ casino. After the war it was used as resort and resort's library, nowadays it's world-class hotel and restaurant, which also hosts regular and varied concerts and exhibitions.
