Amante story
Amante House is one of the oldest buildings in Kuressaare, with its cornerstone laid between 1650-1700. It is one of the ten buildings that survived the Great Northern War, still preserving a rich cultural layer with wall paintings and other finds from the Swedish era and later periods.
Originally built as a residence for Swedish goldsmiths along the main street, it changed hands among various ethnic goldsmiths. Due to its location in the harbor area, it later served as a customs house and during the Soviet era, it functioned as a finance department. Unfortunately, for more than 20 years, the building stood empty because its condition was very poor, with the roof collapsing. At that time, no one knew about the cultural treasures hidden within the house.
With the financial support of the Norwegian state and the State Shared Service Center (SSSC), the house gained a new lease on life and is now publicly accessible, welcoming people daily to explore and experience.
The project was funded through the program 'Local Development and Poverty Reduction' from the grant round 'Conservation Areas in Historical Town Centers'.
