St. Mary's Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in Vanalinn district, Tallinn, Estonia
The Gothic cathedral features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and a 69-meter-high tower topped with a Baroque spire from 1779.
The cathedral's construction began in the 1230s under Danish King Valdemar II, who designated it as the main church of his Estonian territories.
The cathedral maintains multiple religious functions, serving both Lutheran and Catholic communities while preserving medieval tombstones and ecclesiastical artifacts.
Visitors can explore the cathedral from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 16:00, with organ concerts taking place every Saturday at noon.
The cathedral's tower keys were forcibly obtained by police in 1927 following a legal dispute between Estonian authorities and German congregation representatives.
