Tarvastu Peetri Church

Tarvastu Peetri Church

Tarvastu Peetri Church is located in Porsa village, Viljandi parish, Viljandi County. The exact date of the church's construction is unknown, but it is believed to have been established in the 13th century along with Tarvastu Castle. Throughout history, the church has suffered repeatedly due to wars but has been restored later. In the 19th century, after being struck by lightning, the church was restored in the neo-Gothic style under the guidance of Pastor Michael Jürmann, who also added a marble altar. On the altar wall of the church, two life-sized angels greet visitors, creating a warm atmosphere. The church tower is adorned with a gilded cross, and there is a powerful organ made by organ master August Terkman.
