Toompea Castle

Medieval castle now home to Estonia's parliament

Address Toompea Hill

The seat of Estonia's parliament (Riigikogu), perched on the limestone hill that gives the upper town its name. The pink baroque facade you see from the square is 18th-century, but the foundations go back to a 13th-century castle built by the Teutonic Knights. The tall Pikk Hermann tower at one corner flies the Estonian flag each morning at sunrise.
