    It is a nice enough church just at the edge of Old Town and situated next to Freedom Square. There are nicer churches to visit in the area.

    Really a gorgeous church but depending on the place you sit you might be blocked by a pillar and you cant see on the "stage".

    St. John's Church in Tallinn is a true jewel that combines spiritual serenity, historical richness, and musical delight, creating an experience that touches the soul. Situated in the picturesque district of Freedom Square, this neo-Gothic masterpiece captivates visitors with its architectural elegance and imposing presence. Stepping inside, you're immediately greeted by a sense of calm and tranquility. The interior is beautifully maintained, with stained glass windows casting a kaleidoscope of colors onto the wooden pews, creating a stunning visual spectacle. Every corner of the church speaks volumes about its historical and spiritual significance, offering a fascinating insight into Tallinn's rich past. But what sets St. John's Church apart is its vibrant musical scene. During winter, the church transforms into a concert venue, hosting a wide array of performances that range from classical music to traditional Estonian melodies. The acoustics are nothing short of phenomenal, with each note resonating within the church's grand walls, creating a magical, immersive experience. Being there, surrounded by the beautiful architecture while listening to the concerts, feels as if the music is bringing the building to life, creating an indescribably profound and moving atmosphere. The performances are not just concerts; they are a fusion of music, history, and spirituality that leave you touched and inspired. The staff are warm and welcoming, always ready to share anecdotes about the church's history and its significance in the local community. Whether you're there for the music, the architecture, or the spiritual ambiance, St. John's Church does not disappoint. In summary, St. John's Church is not just a destination; it's an experience - one that is rich, uplifting, and deeply moving. A definite must-visit when in Tallinn, and without a doubt, a full five-star gem!

    (Translated by Google) March 11, it was around 12 o'clock. Teacher Jaan TAMMSALU stood at the door of the church and waited. It felt so right! If not to say, beautiful, There were about 10 people who came. Coming out after the prayer sermon, I was fascinated. Thank you. (Original) 11 märts, kell oli 12 paiku. Õpetaja Jaan TAMMSALU seisis kiriku uksel ja ootas. See tundus nii õige! Kui mitte öelda, ilus, Tulijaid oli ehk 10 ringis. Peale palvejutlust välja tulles, olin lummatud. Aitäh.
