Prison Tours




Come along with us on a walking tour to the old central prison, used by the Russian Empire, Third Reich, Soviet Union and Estonian Republic.

When Estonia joined the EU they had to close it down as it did not correspond with the EU Human Rights convention, ever since stayed untouched.

A unique building used as a cannon battery, military barracks and prison over its 160 years of existence is now hosting various cultural events. Located on the coast of charming neighborhood Kalamaja, 15 minute walk away from the Old Town.
