    I've discovered this church during my last trip to Tallinn in mkd-summer. Absolutely beautiful wooden architecture. Even though it's an eastern orthodox church, it's architectural style isn't purely eastern orthodox which makes it special.

    The church, belonging to Estonian Orthodox Church, was built between 1755 and 1870. This is an "Admiralty church" that is said to have been built by Russian sailors on the wreck of a ship. When Estonian Republic was first established, the sanctuary was handed over to an Estonian congregation. In the Soviet times, this small church by the sea was used as a sports hall; today, it has been restored and is once again used as a church. It has unique woodcut Greek-style iconostasis, pulpit and pews. On the ground floor, you will find a shop selling church paraphernalia and literature. In the tower, there is a church textile museum that is open from Tuesday to Friday from 11 am to 5 pm, on Saturday from noon to 2 pm and on Sunday from noon to 3 pm. Entrance is free.

  • 5/5 Muki Fu !. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It's one of the few Orthodox churches I've never been to before. It has always been closed. Now it was open ... and it turned out that the service was in Estonian. Modest but spacious and white. Made a nice impression. (Original) See on üks väheseid õigeusu kirikuid kuhu ma enne sattunud ei ole. Alati on see olnud suletud. Nüüd oli avatud ... ja selgus, et jumalateenistus käib eesti keeles. Tagasihoidlik aga avar ja valge. Jättis kena mulje.

  • 5/5 Jaanus V. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Small, but history and beautiful Estonian Orthodox Church of the Apostles. If possible, I would recommend visiting during the service, it is different but very beautiful. The later Russian Patriarch Alexy II has served in this church. (Original) Väike, ent ajalooga ja kaunis Eesti Apostelliku Õigeusu kirik. Kui võimalik, soovitan külastada ka teenistuse ajal, see on teistest erinev kuid väga ilus. Selles kirikus on teeninud ka hilisem Venemaa patriarh Aleksius II.

  • 4/5 Andrea R. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A beautiful Orthodox church that is located just off the classic tourist itineraries but it is worth taking a walk in this area and pausing to admire this church, especially inside. Very nice. (Original) Una bella chiesetta ortodossa che si trova poco fuori i classici itinerari turistici ma vale la pena fare una passeggiata in questa zona e soffermarsi ad ammirare questa chiesa, soprattutto all'interno. Molto bella.

    (Translated by Google) The congregation of the Estonian Apostolic Orthodox Church operating there. The house itself is over 250 years old. (Original) Eesti Apostlik-Õigeusu Kiriku kogudus seal tegutsemas. Maja ise üle 250.aasta vana.

    A wonderful project of rebuilding a historical estonian church, which succeeded and made this a beautiful landmark near the Tallinn harbour. The church community there is tightly nit and the priest of the church is a smart and kind man.

    Small and cozy wooden church between the port and the city. Contains a small orthodox shop.

  • 5/5 Katrin V. 4 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    A lovely smaller sanctuary that functions as a cathedral church of the EAÕK, i.e. a church where the Metropolitan of Tallinn and the whole of Estonia serves. Liturgies on Sundays at 10:00 a.m., vigils on Saturday evenings at 5:00 p.m. On major church holidays and Lent, own service schedule. The church also has a shop for church goods, where candles, icons, service books, etc. are available.
