We had passed this Church several times before it jumped out and said come in. Glad we did. The inside is respectfully decorated and adorned with many wooden sculptures, wooden decor and paintings. Has a special feeling not like other churches witnessed in this area. Yes, The clock outside makes a statement too. Look closely to then center you will see a small square door when you see it in person ask what it is. (little surprises are good)

Originally built as a refuge for the poor, this 14th century medevial church is not ornate like the large European cathedrals , but still interesting. I believe there is an entrance fee to get inside. The outside is fairly stark and inside it reminded me of the colonial Protestant churces in the USA. Be sure to go up into the balcony to see the exhibitof rare stained glass.

You will find a beautiful altar by Bernt Notke with the descent of the Holy Ghost and the twelve apostles. Also very interesting is the huge clock above the right side of the entrance in which a small wooden door is build in. This was done because the clock was always a minute late a day and the guy who was responsible for looking after the clock found it easier to adjust the clock from the inside than setting up a ladder every day.Street of the Holy Spirit is one of the shortest and most quiet in Tallinn and has a back entrance to the House of the Blackheads.

and the clock and all, i really didnt get what's the big idea. it's not anything amazing. maybe if you need a place of quiet from the ourside world or a place to worship it's better. i also do not understand the idee of charging an entrance fee at a church

Appearance of this church is humble. but the atmosphere is great. It should be paid (less than 1 euro). But the church is still worth a visit.You can carefully observe its wall carvings and paintings. Although some of them had mottled or incomplete. but also look out of its historic and artistic.great chapel.

Located close to the Town Hall Square, the Church of the Holy Spirit was built in the 13/14th centuries to serve the central area - as it still does today. This is a small but beautiful and atmospheric space finely decorated with 17th century paintings, an intricately carved and adorned altar and good stained glass. It also has a number of interesting memorials. If you're spending any time in Tallinn, you'll pass the fine spire and astronomical clock of this magnificent church several times - just make sure you go inside.

The church of the Holy Spirit is most recognisable by the ornate clock beside the entrance. This was carved in the 1680's. The church it tucked away just behind the main town square and entry is €1. It has one of the most unique towers of all Tallinn's churches, which was unfortunately ravaged by fire as recently as 2002. Inside there are some fantastic wood carvings, including pews, altar pieces and one of the oldest pulpits in Estonia.

Look for the outside clock in the old 'town square' to find this 14th C jewel.[The Holy Spirit Church] We only entered because the door was open. Inside we were greeted by wonderful organ music. We walked around and just marveled at the incredible biblical paintings on wood; all over on everything! I hope my pictures do the interior justice. For if they do, you will want to visit. It is like you are back in the 14th C; with no palace or cathedral glitz! There is a WWI memorial to British Royal Navy and Air Force. I can only imagine attending a service here. Really beautiful.

We called in on a Friday evening. There was no charge but that might have been because there was a service on. We had been inside several other churches that evening that had members of the church in and there was no charge.

A beautiful, moving space, with justly famous altar piece by Lubeck artist Berndt Notke. Still full functioning as a place of worship. Also regular music recitals.
