Tallinn's medieval
wall and tower complex
Housed in a renovated tower from the 15th century, the exhibit, displayed throughout the six floors of Epping Tower, uses informational flags and historically relevant display items to bring to life the wonderful history of Tallinn's magnificent wall and tower complex. Dedicated research and cooperation with local experts in the field has resulted in a rich and educational environment. All info is displayed in both Estonian and English. Authentic replicas of medieval arms and armour are available for visitors to try for themselves. You will also find an authentic, full-sized catapult on our top floor.
