Canute Guild Hall, Medieval guild house in Old Town Tallinn, Estonia.
Canute Guild Hall is a multi-story stone building on Pikk Street featuring traditional Baltic architecture with large windows and a symmetrical facade. The building now functions as an arts center hosting dance performances, theater productions, and art installations.
The hall was built in the 13th century and served as the center of St Canute's Guild, which regulated craftsmen's activities in medieval Tallinn. It was a key place for controlling and organizing craft trades in the city.
The building reflects the craft traditions of Tallinn and houses items that document guild customs and practices. You can see how these social organizations shaped daily life and hierarchy in the medieval city.
The location on Pikk Street in the heart of Old Town makes it easy to visit on foot. Since it functions as an arts center with regular events, checking the current program before your visit helps you plan what to see.
A donation box from the 17th century, originally used in the hall, is now displayed at Tallinn City Museum. This container shows how the guild gathered funds to help sick members.
