Roman-Catholic Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul in Tallinn
Roman-Catholic Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul in Tallinn was built between 1841 and 1844 on the walls of a refectory of a medieval monastery; the neoclassical western facade of the church dates back to 1924.
In 2002, the historical colour scheme of the church from the II half of the 19th century was restored, and its interior design was touched up.
The altar painting Assumption of The Blessed Virgin Mary Into Heaven (Guido Reni Madonna Assunta, 1640) was supposedly a gift from the Bavarian King Ludwig I, the painting The Ascension of Christ (1844) is from Carl Siegismund Walther. The 14 colour stations of the Via Dolorosa were created by a Tyrolean artist N. Schiestl (XX).

Simple architecture.
tripadvisor rating 3 of 5This 19th century Catholic Church was able to be built after more freedom of faith was allowed under Russian dominance as opposed to prior rulers of the area. The architecture is simple and pleasant.
Ok
tripadvisor rating 3 of 5Go through the gates and small garden to the church. very simply decorated inside and only worth a visit if you are really interested. if not there are plenty of other churches worth visiting.
One of many churches in the old town
