Valga County Government

Valga County Government is situated in one of the oldest buildings that was built in the beginning of 20 century. Neo-classical building with Jugendstil elements was designed by a famous architect Wilhelm Ressler from Riga. The construction was ordered by a German bank. In the days of the Estonian Republic the building housed the successor of the former tenant – Valga loan and savings bank, in the mid 1930s Valga Ühispank also moved there. At the beginning of the Soviet period, in 1940-41 the house was allocated for the Russian military men’s flats. During 1944–1991 the building stayed at the military forces disposal, and housed a canteen on the ground floor. Valga County Government has been residing there from 1992. The building is listed as a national architectural monument.
