St. John's Church in Viljandi

St. John's Church in Viljandi is a place of worship of medieval origin on Pikk Street in Viljandi's old town. The church's history goes back to the second half of the 15th century, and its walls have survived wars, fires and rebuilding. Medieval structural parts have been preserved, and inside you can see artworks and stained-glass windows. The church tower holds a carillon of 25 bronze bells whose sound is part of the characteristic soundscape of central Viljandi. St. John's Church also serves as a concert venue and lies close to the castle hills and the old town's footpaths. When visiting the interior, keep services and events in mind.
