The Bishop’s House (Piiskopi maja) is a building complex consisting of a main house with a pointed gable and a gatehouse with a half-gable. This “father and son” composition belonged to a wealthy merchant of the city. The earliest known owner was Johannes Sost (1339), while the current structure dates to 1451. The most striking architectural feature is the late Gothic gable with blind arches and round window niches. It resembles the façade of St. Bridget’s Convent Church and is believed to have been built by the same master. The gable is decorated with painting fragments depicting Christ and the four evangelists. This house is a remarkable example of Gothic urban architecture, reflecting the history of Tallinn’s wealthy merchants.
