Description
On this trip to Tallinn I walked up to Toompea Hill to take in the beautiful sight of the town. It was February and quite chilly. The wind was cold, and my fingers numb. A young woman had a wagon like stand where she sold burnt almonds and glogg. I warmed my hands on the hot drink and enjoyed the very tasty almonds that the girl offered me. I bought some roasted pecans with the taste of orange and chilli. This was my little private escape from the crowd I was travelling with.
The Cathedral of Saint Mary the Virgin in Tallinn, also known as Dome Church) is a cathedral church located on Toompea Hill in Tallinn, Estonia. Originally established by Danes in the 13th century, it is the oldest church in Tallinn and mainland Estonia. It is also the only building in Toompea which survived a 17th-century fire.
Originally a Roman Catholic cathedral, it became Lutheran in 1561 and now belongs to the Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Tallinn, the spiritual leader of the Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church, and chairman of that church's governing synod.
