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 away from Town Hall Square, surrounded by cobblestone streets and medieval charm. In the same building you’ll find the famous Rataskaevu 16 Restaurant, known for its Estonian-inspired dishes. Groceries are easy to pick up at Rimi Express or Kolmjalg corner shop, while Telliskivi Creative City is a short walk away with shops, street art, and nightlife. Olde Hansa, a medieval-themed dining experience, is also nearby. Public transport and paid parking are easily accessible.
