Church of Saint Nicholas in Tallinn
The first Classicist church building with twin towers in Tallinn was designed by Luigi Rusca, an architect from St. Petersburg, and constructed in the period of 1820–1827.
The church's valuable iconostas is almost as famous as the Zarudnev iconostas in the Church of the Transfiguration of Our Lord. The remains of Arseny, a metropolitan of Rostov and Yaroslavl, who died as a prisoner in Tallinn in 1772 and who was declared a saint in the year 2000, are located in the church.
The church is administered by an orthodox congregation that belongs to the Moscow Patriarchate.

Beautiful Orthodox Church in Tallinn Old Town
tripadvisor rating 4 of 5Beautiful Orthodox Church in Tallinn Old Town. It’s not very spectacular outside, you can notice Russian style, but it’s beautiful decorated inside, No fees for visiting inside, so don’t hesitate.
Yellow and Cream Colored
tripadvisor rating 3 of 5A very large somewhat modern Orthodox church, exterior in colors of yellow and cream. Pretty church yard. it was locked up when we visited, open only for church services, so check a schedule.
A tiny church.
tripadvisor rating 2 of 5This is a tiny underwhelming church we found by chance as we walked past it. We peeked inside and were not very impressed.
