St. Mary's Cathedral

St. Mary's Cathedral is the oldest church in Tallinn, distinguished by its mix of whitewashed walls and a prominent baroque spire that rises sixty-nine meters above the Toompea hill. Originally established in the thirteenth century following the Danish conquest, the church served as the spiritual center for the Baltic German nobility. Its interior functions as a repository for the region's aristocratic history, with walls covered by over one hundred wooden, hand-painted coats of arms and floors paved with medieval tomb slabs.
