Nigulista Church

The goons run on the skin when the organ begins to play under the arches of the church of Niguliste or the flaps of the luxurious retablo of Hermen Rode open. This altar fold was commissioned by his workshop and completed in 1481. In the late Middle Ages, the workshop of H. Rhode was one of the most famous in Northern Europe, and the works performed there are still preserved both in Germany and in Scandinavia. The altar itself in its open form appears before visitors only 3 times a year, but you can listen to the organ every weekend. In 2012, large-scale repairs were carried out at the Nigulist Museum. The most important magnet of this museum is the masterpiece of the representative of the Northern Renaissance Bernt Notke “Dance of Death”, the only surviving painting in Europe on this subject. The painting is protected by UNESCO and is one of the main artistic masterpieces in Estonia. The magnificent altar folds of the late Middle Ages in the Niguliste Museum testify to the flourishing of the Flanders cities. The Silver Pantry Museum exhibits all the best in the silver collection of the Art Museum of Estonia. Here are church silver, silver of the Brotherhood of Blackheads, as well as guilds and workshops. During his visit to Tallinn in 1721, Peter the Great presented a silver goat-shaped glass to the blackheads.
