There might not be anything better than\u00a0<\/strong>a museum with a good caf\u00e9, and this is exactly what The Maiden Tower offers. With the weather getting cooler and nights a little bit longer, the museum caf\u00e9 is a great place to spend an afternoon or evening.<\/p>\n

Neitsitorn is one of the 20 surviving towers of the Old Town\u2019s fortification wall. The history of the tower (Meghede torne) dates back to the 1300s. The Maiden\u2019s Tower was erected between 1370-1373 when the wall was built in the Danish King\u2019s Garden. During the Livonian War (1558-1583), the tower was damaged and lost its military functions. From 1842-1960, the tower was used as a residence and was even home to one of Estonia\u2019s top architects Karl Burman after World War II.<\/p>\n

Each floor is designed differently and tells a story of its own. There is an exhibit in the basement, where you can watch a film about the history of the tower, or listen to the sad tale of the misfortunes of a 16th century Livonian maiden. The large window offers a panoramic view of Tallinn\u2019s Old Town.<\/p>\n
