Estonian Centre for Architecture's guided tour of the Patarei Sea Fortress

The Estonian Centre for Architecture's guided tour of the Patarei Sea Fortress offers a chance to step back in time and experience the history of one of Estonia’s most powerful military architecture complexes, layer by layer. The tour leads visitors into spaces usually inaccessible to the general public and tells the story of a fortress that began as a military defence structure and later became one of Estonia’s most famous prisons. The prison period is also linked to the building's dark history and powerful stories that the guides share with participants.

Professional guides, united by their interest in architecture and history, ensure a thorough and engaging experience.

The building will soon undergo development and will be transformed into a seaside destination with residential, business, and entertainment opportunities. Visitors get a unique chance to hear how the building’s past and future intertwine.
