Mõigu, Subdistrict in Kesklinn district, Estonia.
Mõigu is a subdistrict within the Kesklinn administrative area of Tallinn, positioned on the northeastern edge of Lake Ülemiste. The neighborhood consists primarily of residential buildings and green spaces.
The area has roots in the medieval period, with early references documenting human settlement here centuries ago. Over time, local boundaries shifted and reorganized as the surrounding city developed.
The area underwent significant changes when its Baltic German cemetery, established in 1774, was removed during the Soviet occupation in 1950.
The subdistrict is easily accessible by foot from surrounding neighborhoods and connects well to Tallinn's main transport network. Most visitors can explore the area comfortably on foot due to its manageable size.
A historical name exchange occurred when the Mõigu manor relocated to Järveküla village, causing the two communities to switch their geographical identities.
