Toompea loss ja Kuberneri aed
20.08.2026
Toompea Castle was built on the foundations of the dilapidated eastern wing of the Toompea Fortress, which was built in the 13th-14th centuries. The castle with its late Baroque facade was completed in 1767-1773.
The history of Toompea is a story of Estonian rulers and power. Each ruler has built and fortified this place according to their needs and tastes. Today, the Riigikogu of the Republic of Estonia operates in the castle, and the blue-black-white flag flies in the 45.6-meter Tall Hermann Tower - a symbol of the independent state of Estonia.
Free tours of Toompea Castle are held on weekdays with pre-registration for both individual visitors and groups. It is possible to watch the sessions of the Riigikogu from the balcony. Access with mobility aids is from the castle courtyard. The building has an elevator and a disabled toilet.,
On the left is the Governor's Garden, which also has good access for wheelchairs. There are no solutions that take into account the special needs of the visually impaired and hearing impaired.
