You're standing at St. Nicholas Church, Niguliste kirik in Estonian, at the foot of the cathedral hill in Tallinn's old town. Look up at the tower first. It's 105 metres tall, and only St. Olaf's Church has a higher spire in this city. The Baroque spire you see was added in the seventeenth century.
