The founder of the world-renowned House of Fabergé was born in Pärnu, as it turns out, in 1814. He founded the jewellery firm in St. Petersburg in 1842 but it was his son, Carl, who truly brought fame to the name by designing intricate Easter eggs for the Russian imperial court. This studious-looking statue of Gustav was installed in 2015 to mark the bicentennial of his birth.
