    Church center of the Catholic community. Instead, I would point out from this, from a side door to the right of the entrance, the access to the remains of an ancient monastery, which is truly important because it represents the first place of Christian worship in Tallinn. The door is normally closed because it gives access to the choir loft. Ask the custodians or wait for a mass with choir.

    Coming from the Vene, you enter an interesting inner courtyard through a rather inconspicuous gate and stand directly in front of the St. Peter and Paul Church. This place used to belong to the Dominican monastery, which was dissolved during the Reformation and fell increasingly into disrepair. Where the Catholic church stands today, the refectory, the dining room of the monastery, used to be located. When we entered the church we were asked if we would like to take a look at the remaining remains of the monastery complex. Access cost us 2 euros per person and a visit is definitely recommended.

    A lovely little cathedral. The interior is relatively simple. Definitely worth a visit. Not so tourists here either. The courtyard in front is very beautifully designed. There is also a back part that costs 2 euros, but unfortunately I didn't have enough time for it.

    An iconic structure in the heart of the city. A must visit for the follower of the faith. Simple and elegant architecture and classy interiors. Calm and peaceful a must visit for the service here. short walking distance from town center.

    The church itself is nothing extraordinary but it is in a quiet location. What is especially striking when you open the door is the diversity of the languages ​​of the faithful: Catholics are an ultra-minority in Estonia but there are masses in Estonian, English and Russian (we attended the mass in Russian because no other times possible: very surprising to see the Latin rite celebrated in Russian (and probably not in Slavonic but not able to understand!). The apostolic administrator (French but having adopted Estonian nationality) seems to be overflowing with initiatives! Just one regret: the parish website in English is quite limited, especially regarding the pastoral team.

    Great place! Not too many young people though, could be a upside or down depending your view.

    A lovely cathedral, and now my source for holy water. People working there are nice and friendly. I never attend mass- I usually just pray by myself, or rest in the yard. Beautiful and serene also in winter.

    Nice quiet courtyard in front. Shares a cloister walk with St. Katherine's Monestary in the back. (2 euro to go see it) Very quiet, peaceful and gorgeous. Highly recommend.

    Roman-Catholic Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul in Tallinn was built between 1841 and 1844 on the walls of a refectory of a medieval monastery; the neoclassical western facade of the church dates back to 1924. In 2002, the historical colour scheme of the church from the II half of the 19th century was restored, and its interior design was touched up. The altar painting Assumption of The Blessed Virgin Mary Into Heaven (Guido Reni Madonna Assunta, 1640) was supposedly a gift from the Bavarian King Ludwig I, the painting The Ascension of Christ (1844) is from Carl Siegismund Walther. The 14 colour stations of the Via Dolorosa were created by a Tyrolean artist N. Schiestl (XX).

    A very nice Roman Catholic cathedral. We were at a Holy Mass in Polish at 10 o'clock on Sunday. The church was full with locals and tourists.

    My wife and I went to Sunday Holy Mass at 11:30 hours, which was hidden away in the beautiful Tallinn old town. The Cathedral is awesome, probably one of the smallest in whole wide world, but so beautiful. As we entered it was this surreal BEING HOME sensation. And the service.. my God, was that so festive, wonderful and authentically Catholic. I wasn't quite expecting this, if honestly. The Bishop himself celebrated the Holy Mass (in Estonian, but there's English service on Saturday night), the choir was world class, psalm was nearly of celestial nature performed by a pro female vocalist. Magnificent, majestic and spiritually fulfilled. ❤️

    Very interesting Church. Inside there's a Black Madonna that by the say of many performs miracles!

    I went to mass here on Sunday. The mass was at 11:30 am (not in English) and it turned out to be a confirmation mass. The church was packed and mass went on for a really long time. But wow, this was some of the most heavenly choir music I've ever heard in my life. Sent chills down my spine.

    "My house shall be called a house of worship, but you made it a den of thieves" Matt 21:13 That's the only way to describe the "fees" charged to visit a church to pray

👍👍 We love this peaceful and very nicely restored greek-catholic church. This Christian religion follows byzantin rites but is in full communion with the Latin church (the Pope in Rome being the head). The iconostasis (wall with icons separating the front part of the church) is really beautiful. The bu...

👍👍 It is one of the oldest hurches and a beautiful, old building BUT.. I don't like the fact that one of the few remaining Catholic churches in town has been carved out and is now used for entertainment (and some art exhibitions). It lacks piety.. and even though I am no longer a Catholic, this hurts...
