Tallinn Town Hall

Mer

Tallinn Town Hall is the only surviving Gothic town hall in Northern Europe. Built in the heart of Tallinn, next to a marketplace, the Town Hall has witnessed trade and social activities for over 700 years. It has still remained the most important representational building in town. The building history of the Town Hall goes back to the 13th century. In its present form it was completed in 1404. The management of the city worked in the Town Hall until 1970. Since 1975 the Town Hall functions as the ceremonial building of the city government, but it also serves as a concert hall and a museum. The Citizens’ Hall and the Council Chamber are both hired for receptions. It is possible to hold one event at a time; therefore the halls are not hired separately. Maximum number of visitors is 100; in summer up to 140 at stand-up receptions. The halls of the Town Hall have own established interior design that is not changed.
