Tallinn Town Hall
Tallinn • Historical Sites
The oldest town hall in the Baltic region, a rare example of Gothic architecture.


A commanding tower that flies the Estonian flag high above the city.
Pikk Hermann Tower is an emblematic part of Toompea Castle, standing tall as a symbol of national pride. The flag of Estonia flies atop this 45-meter-high structure, visible from various points across the city. Its history dates back to the late 14th century, and it has served as a defensive lookout over the centuries. Although the interior isn't open to the public, the tower itself is an integral part of the castle's silhouette, representing the enduring spirit of Estonia's independence.
