A visit to the oldest building preserved in the Old Town of Tallinn is worthwhile. The Monastery, which once used to be a place where different cultures mingled and a cradle of Estonian schooling, is today a unique architectural monument for the whole of Northern Europe.

   The Monastery founded by Dominican monks as early as in 1246 and built in the Gothic style, offers besides medieval architecture a large collection of carved stones.

 The monastery garden and cloisters can accommodate 120 guests at a time. Visits to the museum are possible also during evening hours and in winter,  by appointment. The museum rooms may be used on terms and conditions agreed upon for conclusion of concerts, celebrations and presentations
