Pelgulinn

Located 2 kilometers northwest of central Tallinn, Pelgulinn contains numerous two-story wooden apartment buildings along tree-lined residential streets.

The area transformed from meadows and forests into a settlement during the late 1800s, following the construction of the Tallinn-Saint Petersburg railway.

The neighborhood name translates to 'Refuge Town' in Estonian, referring to its past function as a secluded area for people seeking shelter.

With a population of 16,003 residents, Pelgulinn offers direct transportation connections to central Tallinn and maintains multiple educational facilities.

The oldest section of Pelgulinn centers around Härjapea Street, featuring preserved wooden structures from the early twentieth century.
