The Cathedral of Saint Mary the Virgin, known locally as the Dome Church (Toomkirik), is the oldest church in mainland Estonia. Founded in 1233 on Toompea Hill, it has been a place of worship for nearly 800 years and now serves as a Lutheran cathedral.
Originally built as a wooden church when the Danes conquered Tallinn in 1219, it was rebuilt in stone by the 14th century. The church has been destroyed by fire multiple times, most devastatingly in 1684. The current building mixes Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical elements from successive restorations.
