St. John's Church in Tallinn, Lutheran church in Kesklinn, Estonia.
The three-nave church rises prominently at Freedom Square, featuring a tall west-end tower crowned with a decorative Gothic Revival spire.
Construction of St. John's Church started in 1862 under architect Christoph August Gabler, following fundraising efforts to accommodate an expanding congregation.
Ten stained glass windows designed by Dolores Hoffmann narrate stories from the Gospel of John, enhancing the spiritual experience within the church.
Located 4.9 kilometers from the airport and 1.7 kilometers from the harbor, the church welcomes visitors from May through September without prior booking.
The church tower houses Estonia's oldest bell containing Estonian text, dating from 1872, marking an early example of national language use.
