Life of medieval Tallinn

Program

• We will walk through the ancient streets of medieval Tallinn, and I will introduce you to the history of the ancient city.
• We will visit a medieval pharmacy, the houses of merchants and craftsmen from the 15th-17th centuries, and ancient merchant churches.
• I will tell you about the amazing and fascinating system of air heating in houses and castles from that time period, show you the medieval kitchen, and talk about it.
• I will talk about the city management in that distant era and what people were doing in the 'dark' Middle Ages.
• We will admire our 'old lady' town hall and I will tell you about its secrets.
• We will approach the most popular place among tourists - the Small Shameful Pillory, and I will tell you about funny and serious punishments.
• We will walk the road of sinners, have a snack in the ancient town hall prison with a soup made of elk in our own 'medieval' way, from clay pots with handles, without spoons, and have a pie made of wild meat.
• I will tell you about the medieval well and why it was called the 'Cat's Well'.
• You will also learn about the merchant guilds: the Great Merchant Guild and the Brotherhood of Blackheads - their history and where else in Europe they existed.
• We will walk along the fortress wall, where if desired, you can climb the ancient towers.
• At the end of the tour, if desired, you can take photos in one of the lookout towers of the old city gates of Viru in sumptuous medieval costumes: a knight of a knightly order, the city mayor, or a noble lady in a magnificent headpiece. If you wish, you can receive a high-quality A4 photo in a beautiful cover with views of our city in a couple of minutes.

As a result, you will learn about the joys and sorrows of life in medieval Tallinn, and you will feel like residents of the ancient city, as if in a fairy tale that you don't want to leave.
