Canute Guild Hall, Medieval guild house in Old Town Tallinn, Estonia.

The multi-story stone building features traditional Baltic architectural elements with large windows and a symmetrical facade on Pikk Street.

Constructed in the 13th century, the hall served as the headquarters for St Canute's Guild, which regulated craftsmen's activities in medieval Tallinn.

The building contains ceremonial items including silver cups, wooden scepters, and protocol books that document the traditions of different craft associations.

Located at Pikk Street 20, the former guild house now functions as an arts center presenting dance performances, theater productions, and art installations.

The guild's collection box from the 17th century, displayed at Tallinn City Museum, was used to gather funds for supporting sick guild members.
