Kuressaare Fire Station

The Kuressaare Fire Station (Pritsumaja) is a historic fire brigade building on Tallinna Street in central Kuressaare. The building belongs to the town's older building stock and recalls a time when fire safety depended on the organised efforts of the local community. Its distinctive exterior makes a good stop when exploring the architecture of Kuressaare's old town. The fire station is close to the town hall and other historic buildings in the centre, so it is easy to see during a walk. It is primarily an architectural sight rather than a typical ticketed museum visit.
