Church

One of the best-known landmarks of Tallinn's Old Town is St. Olaf's Church (Oleviste Church), whose history dates back at least to the 13th century, although its origins may reach even further into the past.

During the Middle Ages, its soaring spire—then rising to approximately 159 metres, making it one of the tallest buildings in Europe, and today standing 123.7 metres high—defined the city's skyline even centuries later and it remains one of the most distinctive features of Tallinn's panorama.

The church features a spacious and impressive Late Gothic interior, enriched by layers of historical architecture that have been carefully restored and rebuilt over the centuries.

Today, St. Olaf's Church is both an active place of worship and a popular visitor attraction. Its observation platform offers magnificent panoramic views of Tallinn and the Gulf of Finland.
