Estonian Apostolic Orthodox Pärnu Transformation of Our Lord Church

Due to the massive religious conversion at the end of the 19th century, the 18th-century Ekateriina's Church became too small for the Pärnu orthodox congregation. So, in 1904, the historic Old Russian-style Pärnu Transformation of Our Lord Apostolic Orthodox Church was built and its congregation (Estonian) was separated from the former congregation of Ekateriina's congregation (Russian).

 
The church had a typical to that time brick facade and a base of granite ashlar work. The sanctuary has an outstandingly tall 38-metre bell tower. The altar wall holds 11 icons and 11 major wall paintings with figurative composition.

In 2013, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople awarded the title of archon in the church to the composer Arvo Pärt and entrepreneur Viljo Vetik, which is marked by a text plaque on the exterior wall of the church.
