church of the transfiguration of our lord

This **Orthodox Church of Estonia** was built in the 13th century. It is a
medieval Cistercian St. Michael’s Abbey for nuns that was rebuilt as **the Transfiguration Church in 1732**.

Its beautiful Baroque iconostasis (1720) is over 290 years old; it is one of the most grandiose Baroque works of art in Estonia and also one of the oldest extant iconostases. The grave monument of the holy martyr Bishop St. Platon in the church and his memorial in the church yard, as well as the oldest church bell in Tallinn add to the character of this church. https://www.visitestonia.com/en/church-of-the-transfiguration-of-our-lord-in-tallinn

**St. Olaf’s Church** or **St. Olav’s Church** (Estonian: *Oleviste kirik*) is believed to have been built in the 12th century and to have been the centre for old Tallinn’s Scandinavian community before Denmark conquered Tallinn in 1219.
