Red Tower
The Red Tower is the only building left of New Pärnu's medieval fortress. It was built in the 15th century, served as a prison, and takes its name from the red bricks lining its walls inside and out. In the 17th century it had four storeys, of which three survive. Since the 19th century the tower has been put to various uses, among them housing the town archives, and it still stands in Pärnu's old town.

Punane torn on ainus säilinud hoone keskaegsest Uus-Pärnu linnusest. See ehitati 15. sajandil, oli kasutusel vanglana ja sai nime punastest tellistest, millega on vooderdatud seinad nii seest kui väljast. 17. sajandil oli tornil neli korrust, millest kolm on säilinud. Alates 19. sajandist on torni kasutatud mitmel otstarbel, muu hulgas linnaarhiivina, ja see seisab endiselt Pärnu vanalinnas.
