Tallinn - House of the Brotherhood of Blackheads

The Brotherhood of Blackheads united the young, single merchants before they could be accepted into the Great Guild. It emerged in 1399 and was named after the patron, the black St. Mauritius, an early Christian martyr. His head is the mascot on the Brotherhood’s coat of arms.

This door dates to 1640.
