St. Olaf’s Church (the white tower with the green spire) in Tallinn, Estonia, 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. Its dedication relates to King Olaf II of Norway (also known as Saint Olaf, 995–1030). The first known written records referring to the church date back to 1267. It was extensively rebuilt during the 14th century.
In 1590, the total height of the church tower was 115.35–125 m. The tower has been hit by lightning around 10 times, and the whole church has burned down three times throughout its known existence. According to one source it may have been the tallest building in the world from 1549 to 1625, but this claim is highly speculative. After several rebuildings, its spire is now 123.8 meters tall.

The two turrets on either side of the church tower are part of the old city walls.

A small group of Estonian Pilgrims immigrated to escape oppression and settled in Northern Wi. Sadly the services only lasted for 50 years and closed in 1964. this Estonian church was the first to be built in North America and was established in 1907 and dedicated in 1914 by founding fathers Johan Wiltein, George Tutt, and Albert Sommi.
We did a one day cruise to Tallinn, Estonia from Helsinki. Tallinn is a wonderful old city, great to visit.

Estonian Song and Dance Celebration is the local signature event and a reason why Estonians are often referred to as the “singing nation”. The uniqueness of this mesmerising event has even earned the song and dance celebration a place at UNESCO's prestigious list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
This delightful young lady was merrily playing a recorder for the entertainment of the mainly tourists in Tallinn, Estonia. Was she perhaps, hoping to attract a knight in shining armour ? However her lovely music & demure appearance certainly attracted a good audience.

The small building was finished in 1914, to become the very first Estonian church in the United States. It is now in the process of being restored so that future generations may view it.

Kolga Manor.
From 1230, the estate belonged to the Cistercian Order. In 1581, Swedish king John III gave Kolga and the land around it to the famous Swedish general Pontus de la Gardie.
Kolga obtained its current appearance in the 1820s, when the previous building was completely reconstructed as a stylish Classicist palace. From the end of the 17th century to the summer of 2014, the manor has belonged to the same noble family – the Stenbocks.
Despite the fact that many of its buildings are in ruins, the manor complex still makes a majestic impression.
