Vändra

Vändra (German: Fennern) is a borough (Estonian: alev) in Põhja-Pärnumaa Parish in Pärnu County, Estonia.

On Old Church Hill there is an underground cemetery called Kabelias, which was used from the 15th to the 18th century, which today is under heritage protection.

Vändra church, dedicated to St. Martin, belongs to the EELK Vändra Martin parish. The church built in 1841 is single-aisled.

A memorial stone has been erected over the former wooden church and manor. The Vana-Vändra manor house is a ruin, the town's stage stands in the park.

The Uue-Vändra manor house, which was located on the banks of the Käru river, was burned down during the 1905 revolution and was destroyed in the Second World War. The former location of the manor is surrounded by the old and species-rich Rõusa Park, which also houses the central building of the Vändra Forestry.

In front of the school building is a statue of the Vändra bear, which was donated to the school by the alumni association of the Vändra Gümnaasium (Vändra Gymnasium).

The school garden was built in 1924. It has fruit trees, rock garden, sample beds of summer and perennial flowers and a heated greenhouse. In 2004, a fountain was built in the school garden for its 80th anniversary.

Composer Mihkel Lüdig, who spent the last years of his life in Vändra and was buried in the Vändra cemetery, is commemorated by a memorial plaque standing on the wall of the house opposite the buildings of the former school for the deaf.
