Visited November 4, 2012
This is the second church I visited along my walk in the Old City last month. Again, I didn't get a chance to go inside.
St. Nicholas is an Orthodox Church built in 1827.
This is the first classical church building in Tallinn, but was preceded by a church for Orthodox merchants located on the same site in the Middle Ages. The church has the oldest Estonian iconostasis, which is a sculptured wall, this one consecrated by the Russian Tsarina Sophia Alekseyevna in 1678.
From the pictures on the website, the inside is amazing.
