Stenbock House, Neoclassical government building in Old Town, Estonia.
Stenbock House features six dolomite pilasters on its facade and stands prominently on Toompea hill, serving as Estonia's governmental headquarters.
The construction began in 1787 under Count Jakob Pontus Stenbock's initiative and functioned as a courthouse during the Russian Empire administration.
The structure represents Estonian administrative heritage through its continued role from imperial courthouse to modern government center since 2000.
The building requires advance arrangements for visits and maintains strict security protocols as the active seat of Estonian government operations.
The building's rear balcony, supported by Doric columns, provides direct views across Tallinn toward the Baltic Sea.
