Photo Flashback: Tallinn Old Town

In the 17th century this small modest stone house in Tallinn was built near the Church of the Holy Spirit for commercial purposes. The building consisted of a storeroom on the first floor and an attic warehouse. Over the years the building belonged to the wealthy mayors of Tallinn, the town pharmacist Johann Burchart and the guild of goldsmiths. Today it houses a quaint giftshop just off from the Town Square.
