Dominican convent 1246
Visit the well-preserved premises, established already in 1246.
Walking on the streets of Tallinn, one does not see this building at all. After a deep gateway, you step into a courtyard that is worth visiting itself. From here you can enter the building where there are different rooms monks were living and studying. Inside, there are also lots of medieval carved stones on display.
Besides, in some rooms (called Claustrum gallery), there are contemporary art exhibitions, changing bimonthly.
Beyond the ordinary opening hours, private events as well as guided tours can be ordered.

Not great
tripadvisor rating 2 of 5The building itself was beautiful and well worth the visit. We went inside (we had our Tallinn card so it was free entry). I would have been so disappointed had I paid in! The rooms were impressive... Read more comments
Almost secret
tripadvisor rating 5 of 5Is a small place, but very medieval by the look of it. We just caught some glimpses from the outside.
Quiet Oasis
tripadvisor rating 4 of 5This is petite but beautifully preserved. Accessed via an ancient archway into the courtyard. The steps to the museum are old and uneven.
