Tallinn Town Hall celebrates its 700th anniversary

This year marks the 700th anniversary of the first mention of the Tallinn Town Hall in 1322. This majestic Gothic building is known for its large ornate meeting rooms and is the best preserved town hall in Northern Europe. The official anniversary of the Raekoda took place on 15 May but anniversary celebrations will continue throughout the year.

The Gothic arches and precious works of art reflect the wealth and ideals of the former Hanseatic city. The rarest items are the benches of aldermen dating from the 14th and 15th century.


In July and August, the Town Hall is open to visitors from the cellar to the attic. More information about Tallinn's Town Hall can be found here. It's well worth a visit!
