The Church of the Holy Spirit in Tallinn’s Old Town is the smallest of the surviving medieval churches. Originally built as the Helgeandshus chapel, it was expanded around 1300 into a two-nave church and completed around 1380. Its narrow western tower received its current Baroque form at the end of the 17th century. Inside, the church preserves a Gothic crucifix and an altar created by Bernt Notke in 1483. On the north wall hangs the oldest surviving clock in Tallinn, made in 1684 by Christian Ackermann. The church is also notable as the site where, in 1531, the first sermons in Estonian were delivered, and in 1535 pastor Johann Koel introduced Luther’s catechism translated into Estonian. Today, it stands as one of the most impressive Gothic sanctuaries, reflecting the spiritual heritage of both Tallinn and Estonia.
