Tallinn Town Hall

Tallinn Town Hall is the oldest city hall in North-Europe. In 2022, Tallinn Town Hall celebrated the 700th anniversary of its first mention in 1322. The story of the building dates back to the 13th century and it was completed, in its current form, in 1404.

The magnificent Gothic arches, the unique wood carvings, tapestry, and paintings reflect the wealth and ideals of the former Hanseatic town. The works of art in the Town Hall were also an example of fair judgement for the aldermen because until the 13th-19th century the Town Hall was a courthouse.

Free with Tallinn Card!

NB! Open seasonally 25.06-31.08 Mon-Thu 11-18; Fri-Sun 11-16.

    We popped in here expecting to visit the museum in about half an hour. What we did not reckon on was the number of rooms you can visit below the building. I would highly recommend a visit as this... Read more comments
