Niguliste Museum and Viewing Platform
Niguliste Museum is housed in St. Nicholas Church, a 13th-century Gothic-style church and one of the oldest buildings in Tallinn. The church is no longer a regular place for worship services but has been transformed into a museum where history, art, and architecture meet. Here lies one of Estonia's most famous artworks, Bernt Notke's 15th-century "Dance Macabre," which is among the top European cultural heritage sites and offers a powerful, thought-provoking experience for today's visitors.
The museum's collection provides an overview of the rich history of the Hanseatic city of Tallinn, the medieval worldview, and the symbolism of church art. The visit is complemented by the viewing platform of the Niguliste church tower, accessible via a glass elevator. From above, a 360-degree panorama opens up to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town.
Every Saturday and Sunday starting at 4:00 PM, traditional organ half-hours take place, giving you the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful sounds of classical and contemporary organ music in the church's acoustics.
