Halliste St. Anne's Church

Halliste St. Anne's Church is located in Pornuse village in Viljandi County and is a historic Lutheran sanctuary. The oldest stone parts of the church date back to the Middle Ages, but the building has repeatedly suffered from wars and fires. After the 1959 fire, the church stood in ruins for decades until it was restored in 1991. The interior features a remarkable black ceiling and an altarpiece created by Jüri Arrak. It is an active congregation church, and interior visits must be arranged in advance. This is a separate site from the churches in Suure-Jaani and Viljandi town.
