The 5 Best Castles in Tallinn, Harju County

July 3, 2021 Renato Branum

Tallinn's atmospheric Old Town is an enthralling hodgepodge of medieval streets and spires. It's a small city, and the tourist areas are safe and easily explored on foot. Buy a Tallinn Card if intending to use buses, trolleys or trams. For a look into Tallinn's past, visit Rocca-al-Mare Open Air Museum's typical rural Estonian taverns, windmills and watermills, see the onion-domed 1900 cathedral or join the bustle in historic Town Hall Square. St. Olav's spire was once the tallest in the world.

Toompea Castle

The original Danish castle, which was built in 1219, was later destroyed and replaced by a new castle in the 14th century that served as the seat of the Knights of the Sword for several centuries.

The Office of the President of the Republic of Estonia is near the Toompea Castle as well as the Parliament building of Estonia. My photo shows only the Parliament building.

We saw this only from the outside, the tower is quite impressive. There is a small garden park and viewing platform next to it.
