Piiskopi viewing platform

The small, garden-shaped viewing platform on the western side of Toompea offers a beautiful view of Pelgulinna and Kalamaja districts. This hidden square is also known as the Bishop’s Garden. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the gardens belonging to the Cathedral were located here. During the renovation, a medieval well was restored and paradise apple trees were planted in the garden. The two oldest oak trees of Toompea can also be found here.
