Right in the heart of Tallinn’s UNESCO-listed Old Town, Rataskaevu 16 is one of the city’s most eye-catching medieval houses. Built in the 14th century, it was once home to wealthy Hanseatic merchants and still shows off its authentic gothic style. Set on a cobblestone street surrounded by cafés, restaurants, and galleries, this historic house perfectly captures the magical atmosphere of Tallinn Old Town - a place where every corner has a story and every step feels like stepping back in time.
With its tall gables, thick stone walls, and the famous sealed window, the house is full of character and charm. Curious guests can even learn more about its mysteries on an Old Town walking tour with www.estadventures.ee
The apartment is just steps from Town Hall Square, surrounded by cobblestone streets and medieval landmarks. In the same building, you’ll find the renowned Rataskaevu 16 Restaurant, loved for its Estonian-inspired dishes. For everyday needs, Rimi Express and Kolmjalg corner shop are close by. Telliskivi Creative City, with its art, cafés, and nightlife, is within walking distance. Olde Hansa, a medieval-themed dining experience, is also nearby. Public transport and paid parking are easily accessible.
