A short (20 minute each way) detour from the main highway between Narva and Tallinn. Well worth it to see this grand convent. Apart from the main monastery building, you can walk around the site however the nuns can sometime be a bit grumpy and don't like photos as much. I would say 30 minutes -45 minutes would be sufficient during your stop. Significance wise it was interesting how the small convent built in the late 1800's grew into the largest orthodox community in the Baltic States.
