Estonian Knighthood House, Renaissance Revival building in Toompea, Estonia
The Estonian Knighthood House features large windows, symmetrical design, and ornate architectural details on its stone facade at Kiriku plats 1.
German nobles constructed this fourth incarnation of the Knighthood House between 1845 and 1848, following the destruction of previous buildings by fire.
The building served as a gathering place for German nobility who maintained their peerage register and controlled Estonian lands until 1920.
The Estonian Academy of Arts currently occupies the building, which stands near the Dome Church in the upper section of Tallinn's medieval district.
The structure, designed by Georg Winterhalter, transformed from a noble assembly hall to Estonia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and later the National Library.
