Toompea Castle (Estonian Parliament)

Highlight • Castle

Toompea Castle was built on the sunken foundations of the east wing of the Toompea Fortress built from the 13th to the 14th century. The castle with its late Baroque facade was built 1767-1773.
The story of Toompea is the history of Estonia's rulers and their power. Each ruler has built and secured this place according to his needs and wishes. Today, the Parliament of the Republic of Estonia works here, and the Estonian blue-black-and-white flag - the symbol of the independent state of Estonia - blows on the 45.6-meter-high tower of the Long Hermann.

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral was built in 1895. A Luther memorial was originally planned for the location on Toompea, but the Russian authorities prohibited it from being erected, so today the Russian Orthodox Cathedral stands here.

Hellemann Tower and Town Wall, Tallinn

Highlight • Historical Site

The Helleman Tower (also Hellemann Tower) is located in the Old Town of Tallinn and is part of the medieval defense of Tallinn. Today, the address of the tower is Müürivahe Street 48/Uus Street 1 and it is located in the center of the city in the Old Town.

On one side of the HellemanToren is the Virupoort in the city wall, on the other side is the Monk's Tower.

In Soviet times, the tower belonged to the Cinema Association. Below the tower is an access-free sub-room, which was probably created to reduce humidity. In the 1960s, the tower, along with the adjacent part of the wall, slipped a meter, it was supported and preserved.
