The Dome Cathedral

St Mary's Cathedral, St. Mary's Cathedral, Tallinna Neitsi Maarja Piiskoplik Toomkirik
Estonia, Tallinn
The Dome Cathedral is a Lutheran cathedral located in the Old Town of Tallinn. Dedicated to the Holy Virgin Mary. The Dome Cathedral is one of the oldest temples in Tallinn. It received its current appearance after numerous reconstructions. Previously, there was a wooden church on this site, according to historians, it was built in 1219.

The tower of the cathedral belongs to the Baroque era, and its annexed chapels belong to later architectural styles. Inside the temple there are burials of the 13th-18th centuries, as well as various noble coats of arms and epitaphs dedicated to famous people of that time and related to the 12th-20th centuries.

The Dome Church is my favorite of all the churches in Tallinn. On Sunday mornings, you can come here for a small organ concert and, sitting on an old wooden bench, listen to music, looking at the family coats of arms, hung in abundance on simple whitewashed walls. The Dome Church is active, as, indeed, all the other churches in Tallinn, with the exception of the Niguliste Church. Entrance here during the service is prohibited. In the warm season, for an additional fee, you can also climb the church bell tower.
