Nõmme, Residential subdistrict with forest character in Tallinn, Estonia.
Description
Nõmme is a residential subdistrict at the southwestern edge of Tallinn filled with private homes built in the 1920s and 1930s. The area sits within natural pine forests that create a forested setting throughout the neighborhood.
History
The area was established in 1873 by Baltic-German landowner Nikolai von Glehn as an independent village. In 1940 it was incorporated into Tallinn and became a subdistrict of the city.
Culture
The market building serves as a gathering place where neighbors meet and shop for fresh goods. Residents maintain their community ties through these regular visits and local interactions.
Practical
Six railway stations along the western Elron route provide direct connections to central Tallinn. Bus number 36 offers an alternative way to move around the area and reach the city center.
Did you know?
The neighborhood contains unusual granite crocodile sculptures and a statue of the legendary hero Kalevipoeg. These sculptures sit in Glehn Park alongside a castle that was built by von Glehn himself.
