St. Olaf’s Church was the highest point of almost all Europe in the past. And this place has a huge great history. Reformation of Christianity in Estonia had been started here. Even during the Soviet Union times, when religion was forbidden, here in 1970’s really big Holy Spirit moving had place. Many people got healed here even from deadly illnesses. Also you can chance to look at whole city from the rooftop (after 258 steps up). You will be a bit tired, but it worth it.

St. Olaf’s Church or St. Olav's Church (Estonian: Oleviste kirik) in Tallinn, Estonia, is believed to have been built in the 12th century and to have been the centre for old Tallinn's Scandinavian community before Denmark conquered Tallinn in 1219. Its dedication relates to King Olaf II of Norway (also known as Saint Olaf, 995–1030). The first known written records referring to the church date back to 1267. It was extensively rebuilt during the 14th century.
This place was awesome. The only downfall for this place is the fact that the KGB was the big attraction and you simply see a room where they used to work. The views from the top are magnificent though.
We went in summer and loved it. I imagine winter would be unbearable.
One of the best views in Tallinn. Worth climbing the stairs.
St. Olaf church is a must see place in beautiful city of Tallinn in Estonia. You can climb to top of the tower and you have beautiful view of the city. There is not much safety when you climb on top.you have to be bit careful. But a nice place a beautiful view from the top.
