St. John’s Church in Viljandi was built between 1466 and 1472 together with the Franciscan monastery, which was located north of the church. The Franciscans idealised austerity and simplicity, which is why St. John’s Church also employs the charm of simplicity. The history of the church has been turbulent, and yet, the sanctuary has survived to this day, much to the delight of the people of Viljandi.
