Danish King's Garden, Medieval urban park in Old Town Tallinn, Estonia

The Danish King's Garden stands on a slope near Toompea, presenting stone terraces and sculptures of three monks alongside the ancient city wall.

Danish knights established this area in 1219 during their conquest of Northern Estonia, marking the beginning of their century-long reign in the region.

The garden features the sculpture 'Tuli lipp' commemorating the origin of Denmark's national flag, which according to legend descended from the sky during battle.

The garden remains open throughout the year without entrance fees, located within walking distance of major transportation hubs including the harbor and train station.

Every June 15th, the garden becomes the central location for Dannebrog celebrations, marking the national flag day of Denmark with special events.
