Recently renovated and opened to the public earlier this summer, Neitsitorn is one of the 20 surviving towers of the Old Town\u2019s fortification wall.<\/p>\n
The history of the tower (Meghede torne)<\/strong> 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 thus 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 Two.<\/p>\n In 1981 a caf\u00e9 was opened inside the tower and then closed in the 1990s. Following many years of neglect and its eventual closing, the Maiden\u2019s Town Museum and Caf\u00e9 is once again open for business. After two years of renovations and visitors can enjoy a a great caf\u00e9, and one of the best views of Tallinn. The tower is adjacent to the Kiek in de k\u00f6k tower.<\/p>\n Location<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Maiden\u2019s Tower Museum and Caf\u00e9<\/strong> (Neitsitorn muuseum ja kohvik)<\/p>\n Lossiplats 11<\/a><\/p>\n Check on the map<\/a><\/p>\n
