City wall of Old Town
Staying at Nunne Boutique Hotel, you are situated in the heart of Tallinn’s long history. The powerful limestone wall running through the hotel dates back to the mid-13th century when Queen Margarete Sambor ordered the construction of the first defensive wall here. The defensive structure, built by local craftsmen, was only 5 meters high and 1.5 meters thick at that time.
The development of the city walls didn’t stop with Queen Margaret’s initial vision. In 1310, under the guidance of Jens Kanne, further construction work on the wall began. The new grand walls reached heights of up to 6.5 meters and expanded to 2.3 meters thick, significantly increasing their durability. It is believed that the arrow slits, still noticeable in the hotel corridors today, date back to this period when bows and later firearms defended the city of Tallinn.
By the late 18th century, the city walls and towers were becoming obsolete, losing their military significance with Tallinn’s demilitarization in the 19th century. Fortunately, the historical significance of these structures was recognized, and preservation and restoration works began in the 1950s.
Today, 1.85 kilometers of city wall and 20 wall towers have been preserved. Under the streets and buildings of the Old Town, the city wall remains intact.
