House of the Blackheads
House of the Blackheads is one of the oldest and most renowned building complexes in Tallinn’s Old Town. The most unique rooms are the White Hall (1532), which is the first venue in Renaissance style in Tallinn, and the St. Olaf’s Guild Hall (1422), built in the late Gothic style. The House of the Blackheads, which is located in the historic gathering place of Tallinn’s former merchants and craftsmen’s associations, offers various rooms for receptions, business parties, conferences, and other events.
House of the Blackheads is located in Tallinn’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is an important part of the rich cultural heritage of the Hanseatic city. For centuries, the building served as a meeting place for merchants and guilds.
We are open to visitors during events, offering an opportunity to discover the house’s historic architecture and dignified atmosphere

good
tripadvisor rating 4 of 5Interesting door and front to the building. you cannot visit the interior however. Worth having a look if passing but not really worth going out of your way to see it.
Get a Good Look
tripadvisor rating 3 of 5A curious building with a curious name. And it is very old. You will find it on your walk around the old city and you should pause to get a good look, and that is about all you need to do.
