Ernest Schneider Square
E. Šneidera laukums, Pāvilosta
Originally planned as a market square, it was called and used as such until the 1930s. 20th century In the 1950s, the square was renamed Pioneer Square. At the beginning of the 90s, the square was named after Ernests Schneider (1892-1948), a teacher, public worker and the founder of the greening of the village. On August 30, 1992 - the centenary of the teacher - a memorial stone was installed at E. Schneider Square 2, where the teacher lived and worked. The building, which was built as a pharmacy, but later was the Pāvilosta elementary school, today houses the Pāvilosta art school. The wood carvings made by the students of the Wood Sculptors class of the Liepāja Art Secondary School can be viewed in the square.
In 2014, a cultural and historical object - a lighthouse - was installed in E. Schneider Square. Since the bottom of the sea is the final resting place for many Pāvilosta fishermen, this object is like a memorial for fishermen and fishing. An ancient symbol of the lighthouse has served fishermen as security, shore, light and refuge in a difficult time.
