Toompea Castle | Tallinn | Estonia

Toompea Castle was built in baroque style between 1767–1773 on the right wing of the 13th century military fortress. Toompea’s history cannot be separated from Estonia’s military and political history and its rulers. Each of the rulers had Toompea renovated according to their own needs and tastes. Today, Toompea Castle is home to the Riigikogu, the Estonian Parliament.
