Elva station building

Pargi tn 2, Elva vald, Tartu maakond, 61503

This romantic, historic railway station building, established in 1889, laid the foundation for Elva’s birth and development. Thanks to the railway and the completion of the station building, Elva became a popular resort destination, attracting many holidaymakers.
The station building in the heart of Elva is built in a classical style, and its beautiful facade is characteristic of 19th-century station buildings. Due to its architectural value, the building is under heritage protection. The old building, wooden details, and fascinating history create a pleasant backdrop for photography enthusiasts and those intrigued by architecture and history. While waiting for a train or bus, one can browse the lively library in the cozy waiting room, work remotely, or enjoy a hot drink. The station building also houses the café A la Ain, which offers flavors from around the world.
In front of the building is a fountain restored in 2017 with community support. It is the same type of fountain that was originally built there in 1926 and became one of Elva’s symbols in the 20th century.

  • Churches

Vastseliina Church

Vastseliina Castle was built in 1342. The Swedish Army gave the order to build another church outside the walls of the castle as an addition to the Vastseliina Castle Chapel. The new church was consecrated as St. Catherine's Church. The church was destroyed together with the Vastseliina Castle by Russian cannon fire. Another church was built, and construction began on a stone church. Von Liphardt donated an organ made by Kessler and an alter painting by Baron Maydell to the church. Vastseliina Church was reconstructed according to the plans of the architect Pohlmann. In 1911 the church obtained a new organ built by the brothers Kriisa. Church service is held on Sunday.
