185

This building is situated at Vanemuise 35 in the centre of Tartu. It is of great importance in the history of Estonia: it was here that the Tartu Peace Treaty between Estonia and Russia was signed, ending the War of Independence.

The building was constructed in 1859 as the residence of one Baron Nolcken before being purchased by the Russian Ministry of War in the late 19th century. Among other things, the building accommodated the Red Army Latvian Riflemen. Following the declaration of independence it was acquired by the Supreme Court of Estonia, and the Treaty of Tartu was signed there on 2 February 1920. During the German occupation the building housed the local Sicherheitsdienst (Security Service) and Sicherheitspolizei (Security Police). The building was badly damaged during World War II, with only the outer walls and vaulted cellar surviving. After the war it was restored and turned into a vocational school; today an upper secondary school operates there.

The façade is adorned with a memorial tablet dedicated to the Treaty of Tartu in both Estonian and Russian.

10 faktų apie tai, kaip atsirado Tartu taikos sutartis

Viena ryškiausių istorijų apie Tartu taikos gimimą yra tai, kaip 1919–1920 m. žiemą jaunieji kariai buvo priversti žygiuoti ratu aplink miestą. Tikriausiai tai prasidėjo, kai derybos dėl sienų nepavyko. estap, 2-osios divizijos vadas pulkininkas Viktoras Puskaras įsakė Tartu mokyklos mokinių batalionui žygiuoti po miestą taip, kad jis ne kartą eitų ir Aia (dabar Vanemuinės) gatve prie konferencijos pastato, ir Veski gatve, kurioje buvo apsistojusi Rusijos delegacija.
