    🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Beautiful church! I did not went in and just walking around is already worth the walk. At the moment there is some danger to go into the building so o could only make a picture from the outside. The feeling is impressive and interesting to walk in the park behind, find all the different sculptures there are around and I imagine in summer it’s beautiful where the trees are green and the flowers are blooming up.

    Tartu Cathedral is one of the biggest churches in Estonia and the only medieval church with two towers in the country. Its construction is thought to have commenced in the 13th century and continued until the early 16th century. The final parts completed were its towers. The church was destroyed during the Livonian War and has not functioned as a place of worship since. The towers were opened to the visitors in spring 2005. In addition to a lovely view on Tartu and its surrounding area from the two viewing platforms of the cathedral, the visitors of the towers can take a closer look at one of the most remarkable Gothic brick constructions in Old Livonia.

    Pretty cool church with a €5 euro entry fee to go up the tower. Very run down but in a nice part of town near the park.

    It’s a ruins of the building and there is a way to two remaining towers. Outside it’s free, but entrance for the towers is 5€, but if you will get ticket for museum as well, then together it will cost 7€. It was interesting our 6 years old son to climb to the top of the tower through narrow stairs.

    Great building with a lot of readable exposition. Sadly we were not able to climb the tower because It is closed from october to april

    Beautiful ruins, the photos don't give it justice. A must visit in Tartu, along with the museum in the restored part.

    A building of exceptional beauty, I felt like I was in a fantasy movie.

    An amazing spot. I rather stumbled upon it on an evening walk so I saw it in the dark and wasn't able to climb the tower. But that in itself was incredible: I had the place to myself for half an hour and it was beautiful, silent and a little haunting. I tried to imagine how it was built, how it fell into disrepair and how it would have been when it was an active part of a thriving city, holding weddings, funerals and other rites of passage.

    You can climb to lookout tower, that has a good view to the city, with some explanations. Ticket - 5€ adult.

  • 5/5 Giuseppe D. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice Dome with very cool ruins in the backyard. You can enjoy a nice walk around the park and pass through the ruins. You can climb the stairs of the big tower to enjoy the view from above if it is sunny.

  • 5/5 Deniss B. 1 year ago on Google
    Must visit place in Tartu! It is possible to go up to both towers for some amount of money. Nice city view from both towers. We recommend also to visit a museum.

    Fixed up ruins of once great cathedral. Sadly the tower wasn't open when we were there.

    Stunning place, great for picture taking. You can also go up one of the walls. It will take just 5 minutes of your time but very glad I stopped here.

    Nice view of the surroundings. Careful not to key young kids alone. It is a shame that there are a lot of pigeons droppings and pigeons inside: it smells bad and looks unhealthy Despite that this an easy access with some exhibition inside that will enjoy everyone

    Keskiaikaisen tuomiokirkon rauniot, jonka kuoriosassa sijaitsee Tarton yliopistomuseo. Myös raunion torneihin pääsee tutustumaan. Rauniot ovat Toomemäen kaupunkipuiston kruunu. Goottilaistyylinen kirkko on ainoa keskiaikainen kaksitorninen kirkko Virossa. Rauniot huokuvat Riian arkkihiippakunnan aikoinaan laajalle ulottunutta vaikutusvaltaa. Kirkko tuhoutui Liivinmaan sodassa keskiajan lopulla.
