Now fully closed from visitors until further notice. A shame since this was by far the most unique place to visit in Tallinn
Wow, breathtaking. A lost place that you definitely have to put on your bucket list when you visit Tallinn. Consider to wear sturdy shoes.
Despite being riddled with a checkered past, this soviet prison is an incredibly terrific place. Wander through the old cells, operating theatres, offices messes and outdoor exercise yards. It is a very somber experience to bare witness to how humans can treat one another. There are historic documents everywhere and the walls are covered with newspaper clippings and photos from a bygone era. Contemporary graffiti artists have ceased the opportunity to redecorate many of the rooms. Just outside the prison has become popular for pop up bars by the water's side.
Really cool place. Hauntingly beautiful.
Old Russia prison with self guided tours. Was operated until 2003.
