Great little family run restaurant which is currently closed but still open for hungry patrons. Very great hospitality!!!!! The grilled meat, sausages, freshly made salad and house wine were exquisite. Thanks very much.

Tori Mois In the Middle Ages, Tori (German: Torgel) was the main manor of the main administrative office of Pärnu. First mentioned in 1528. The Tory estate belonged to the state for many centuries. After the destruction of the Northern War in 1738, a small archaic wooden main building of the estate was erected. The main building is one of the oldest surviving wooden manor buildings in Estonia. It has been preserved almost in its original form, with the exception of a wing added to the rear in the 19th century and the distribution of window frames changed in the same century. In 1820, the Tori state estate was leased to the Knights of Livonia, who opened a stud farm here in 1854. In the 1850s, a powerful stable complex was built at Tory, whose historic, beautiful gate building dates from 1856. Tory became famous thanks to horse breeding and breeding of Tory horses. Horse breeding, developed in the State Estate, still exists today.

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
