Niguliste Church

Niguliste Kirik

Tallinn's Niguliste church was partially destroyed during the Soviet air raids in the night of March 9/10, 1944. The air raids destroyed many houses and killed 463 civilians. Some of the houses that were destroyed near Niguliste church have never been rebuilt, the area has been turned into a small park and hosts an ice-ring in winter.

Niguliste church now functions as a museum whose most famous item is the Danse Macabre painting by Brent Notke. Certainly worth a visit.
