Podmotsa Village Chapel

Setomaa vald, Võru maakond, 64018

Podmotsa Village Chapel is located in a small lakeside village in the middle of a medieval cemetery. The chapel, surrounded by lilacs and rowan trees, was built in 1760 and dedicated on Ascension Day. Because of this, it was built with young birches. There is a large stone cross near the chapel, as well as two smaller ones. According to local legend, these are the larger cross’s sons. Beside the cemetery is the village swing, and the National Geographic yellow window, which acknowledges a unique landscape. Walking down to the lake from the village, one can also view the Kolpino Orthodox Church, which is currently located in Russian territory.

Võru Old Pharmacy building (Steding House)

In the center of Võru stands the dignified Steding House – a stone building from the 19th century, also known as the Old Pharmacy House. The walls of the building hide several layers: beneath the plaster layers, stencil paintings and decorations have been found that tell stories of past eras. Unlike sterilely restored museums, Steding House has preserved genuine history – it is a building that shows its layers and carries the memories of the city. One wall is adorned with hand-formed ceramic tiles (author Kristel Sihiveer). The eclectic interior is from reuse. Today, Steding House is a meeting place for the community and guests. There is a café; art exhibitions, concerts, and movie nights are organized; additionally, creative and service enterprises find a home here. In summer and on weekends, the house is especially lively – a buzzing crowd on the terrace, and nighttime entertainment offered in the basement. Steding House is both a sight and a vibrant cultural center – a place where a visitor can experience the unique atmosphere of the city of Võru.
