Tallinn Town Hall

Tallinn Town Hall is a long, grey limestone building with a steep, red-tiled roof and a tall, slender tower that dominates the center of the Old Town. First mentioned in thirteen twenty-two, it is the oldest surviving town hall in Northern Europe. This building served as the seat of the city’s municipal government for centuries, housing courtrooms, a treasury, and meeting halls for the city council that once controlled trade and law within these medieval walls.
