Church of the Transfiguration of Our Lord in Tallinn
This Orthodox Church of Estonia was built in the 13th century. It is a
mediaeval Cistercian St. Michael’s Abbey for nuns that was rebuilt as the Transfiguration Church in 1732.
Its beautiful Baroque iconostasis (1720) is over 290 years old; it is one of the most grandiose Baroque works of art in Estonia and also one of the oldest extant iconostases. The grave monument of the holy martyr Bishop St. Platon in the church and his memorial in the church yard, as well as the oldest church bell in Tallinn add to the character of this church.

disappointing
tripadvisor rating 1 of 5Cannot really comment on the inside of the building as we tried to get in a couple of times when it was supposed to be open but unfortunately was not.
Church of the transfiguration Tallin
tripadvisor rating 5 of 5A very beautiful church on the inside but looks like an extremely simple church which does not catch the eye. Step into the church and you will find wonderful paintings on the interiors but do note... Read more comments
An ordinary church.
tripadvisor rating 3 of 5This church has a gorgeous exterior, especially when you spot it from Lai street. However, upon getting closer, it turns out to be rather underwhelming.
