Church of the "Quick to Hearken" Icon of the Mother of God

The Church of the Quick to Hearken Icon of the Mother of God is an Eastern Orthodox church building in northeastern Tallinn with white exterior walls and characteristic domed structures typical of Eastern Christian design. The interior follows traditional Orthodox spatial organization with iconostasis and liturgical furnishings.

Construction of the church began in 2002 and it was consecrated in 2013 by the Patriarch of Moscow and all Rus'. This marked the completion of a new religious center for the Orthodox community in Estonia.

The church keeps Eastern Orthodox traditions alive through regular services and the presence of traditional icons that shape the space. Visitors encounter the active practice of faith and the importance these images hold for the community.

The church is located in northeastern Tallinn and welcomes visitors and worshippers, with traditional Orthodox architecture that is easy to recognize. When visiting, check service times and dress respectfully as would be appropriate in any active place of worship.

The church houses the venerated Quick to Hearken icon of the Mother of God, which was transferred here from another location to find its new home. This icon veneration connects the modern building to older religious traditions of the region.
