The most famous people who have been buried in the church include the Swedish military officer Pontus De la Gardie and his wife, the Swedish King Johann III's daughter Sophia Gyllenhelm, and Admiral Samuel Greigh. The visitors can climb the cathedral's 69-metre baroque-style bell tower and admire the view of the city.

A donation should be made for a visit to the church. For visiting the bell tower, a ticket should be purchased.

Beautiful Tallinn Cathedral!
tripadvisor rating 5 of 5This is another temple that you should not miss in the historic center of Tallinn. The atmosphere inside is unique. We were lucky because admission was free that day. Recommended.
