One of the few churches in Tallinn with actual art in the interior most churches in the city are very plain inside but this one is worth the trip. More

From a distance this is a sight to behold. Stunning from the outside and even better inside! I visited on a Sunday while a service was going on and was lucky enough to be allowed inside the Cathedral during the service. Welcoming and wonderful in equal measure. More

The exterior and the imnterior of this churche is overvelming. After visiting several churches in Tallin this is by far the most impressing. During the visit there was a service going on. This did not made the impression less. The church has a certain impact on you. Visist it! More

Grandeur on a large scale. We were fortunate enough to visit while a service was in progress, the music,prayers and chanting, combined with the smell of incense were hypnotic and instilled a sense of the history, purpose and importance of this wonderful structure More
