Great Guild Hall, Gothic gildhouse in Vanalinn, Estonia.

The Great Guild Hall features blind arches on its limestone facade and contains a large main hall measuring 365 square meters with carved pillar capitals.

The medieval merchants association commissioned this building in 1407, which served as the headquarters of the Great Guild until 1920 near Tallinn Town Hall.

The Estonian History Museum occupies the building since 1952, presenting exhibitions about regional identity and societal development from prehistoric times through medieval periods.

The museum welcomes visitors from Wednesday through Sunday between 10:00 and 18:00, with adult admission at 13 euros and reduced tickets at 9 euros.

The cellar space beneath the hall, formerly used for wine storage, operated as a wine establishment called Das Süsse Loch during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
