Traveler reviews
Ray Crowley
★★★★★a month agoA beautiful peaceful site, rich in history adjecjent to the Piritta river. Take your time to explore each section of the abbey. Easily reached from Tallinn by public bus. From here you can take short bus trip to Teletorn. Highly recommend if you are interested in history, culture or architecture.

★★★★★a year agoSo cool! 3€ to get in, open until 7pm. Not only the church, but also the convent ruins outside, and neat old graveyard going back to the 1600s. Very few people at 6pm on a Saturday evening. Beautiful, could easily spend up to an hour or so taking photos if photography’s your thing.
