St. Michael\u2019s Church is a Lutheran church in Tallinn\u2019s Old Town, owned by a Swedish congregation and located near Freedom Square and the St Nicholas Church and Museum. Originally built as a poorhouse, the building was converted into a church in 1631, and after the Soviet occupation it was restored for religious use in 2002. The Finnish congregation in Tallinn rents space in the church, holding services and other events there.<\/p>\n
