The Ungern-Sternberg Palace, built between 1865 and 1868 on the slopes of Toompea Hill in Tallinn, is one of the most striking examples of 19th-century architecture in Estonia. It was designed by the renowned Berlin architect Martin Gropius, who gave the building features of French Romanticism: stone masonry, a symmetrical façade, ornate arched windows, and a grand staircase leading to the main entrance. Originally intended as an aristocratic residence, the palace became home to the Estonian Academy of Sciences in the mid-20th century. Today, it serves not only as the center of a scientific institution but also as a protected architectural monument, symbolizing the transition from aristocratic luxury to academic culture. The building stands out with its harmonious façade, natural stone texture, and seamless integration into Tallinn’s Old Town panorama.
