Epiphany Church

The Town Hall of Jõhvi is one of the examples of adaptation of Stalinist style into local architecture. A disgustingly dull grey building, crowned with a white turret, clearly borrowed from the Tallinn Town Hall and somehow animating the landscape.

The stadium is the home of the Lokomotiv football club, which plays in the Estonian Premier League.

Located right in the basement of St. Michael Church. History and archaeology are presented, basically on the church itself and its defensive function.

Built in 13th century, this Lutheran Gothic Church is the oldest building in Jõhvi and the largest one-vaulted one in Estonia. Like other examples in this region that have turned rural churches into small castles with bastions and towers, also this church was boasted for defensive purpose. Inside it is pretty with lots of carved wooden ornaments and two organs at once, which can be played simultaneously. However, this is seldom and only during special concerts. Furthermore, a museum is opened in cellar of the church.

A hedgehog made of scrap metal. It either symbolizes the purity of the city (according to the official version), or perpetuates a fragment of the epic story about Kalevipoeg, where the hedgehog prompted the hero on how best to beat the enemies, receiving his prickly coat as rewards. The mythical grave of Kalevipoeg is not far from Jõhvi.

Jõhvi is the home of Estonia's newest concert hall, which opened in 2005. It has two concert halls: the Grand Hall seating 836 (can be changed to 926), and the other 170. During the season, from autumn to spring, on average one or two concerts a week take place in the Jõhvi Concert Hall. During the summer season several concerts also take place at other beautiful locations throughout Ida-Viru county. The traditional festival "Music of Seven Towns" takes place in late July, with concerts in the concert hall and all over Ida-Viru county.
