Villa Ammende dates back to the last turn of the century era of economic growth when bourgeois started to prefer private residences to luxurious apartments. From building styles modern mixed with traditionalism created by local architects was preferred. Villa Ammende represents the little used Belgian and Austrian flaunting modern style. The building that would have suited well to some St. Petersburg or Riga area of private villas, appears rather surprising in the province town of Pärnu.
The villa has got its name from the Ammende family. Christian Ludwig Ammende moved to Pärnu from Germany in the end of the 18th century. His younger son Jacob Diedrich Ammende (1811-1898) founded his own trade office. By the end of the 19th century Ammendes had become one of the most influential and well-off families in Pärnu. After Jacob Diedrich’s death his oldest living son Karl Heinrich inherited the family’s fortune, but he died three years later. The inheritance went to his brother Hermann Leopold (1855-1934) who was also the builder of Villa Ammende.
