Tallinn, Vanalinn, Lai

Love, Hope and Justice are the three virtues overlooking this charming apartment. Their images on window panes, ornated with golden Gothic letters have been masterfully restored after being found by restoration experts under layers of bricks and paint.

The apartment on Lai street 11, located in the heart of Old Tallinn will amaze you with the existance of artfully restored medieval architecture design elements. The property was first mentioned in medieval Land Register of Tallinn in 1432, while the existing residential house was built in 1540 as the Tönnies Wibbekingk family residence.

The apartment is located on ground floor consisting of 3 bedrooms, large living room with open kitchen, bathroom and the basement. The windows of the living room offer an authentic scenery of the houses and church towers of the Old Tallinn.

In 1997 Old Town of Tallinn was designated as UNESCO World Heritage Site and the first mention of this Hanseatic city dates back to 1219.

The living room is the epitome of carefully restored elements of medieval architecture and art, such as richly decorated stone pillars with first owner`s coat of arms and paintings of the three virtues. The feeling of timeless charm radiates from the date of 1547, carved above the window pillar. The painting of the fourth virtue - Belief was covered by flower ornaments during the times of baroque. Miraculously well preserved part of medieval hypocaust heating system was found under kitchen floor boards and is now displayed under glass cover.

Entrance to staircase leading to basement sealed with historic brick wall was found in the hallway, currently displayed as another historic design element.

The apartment has undergone a complete renovation in 2021, during which as much antique and valuable as possible was restored, but at the same time, the home was given a modern look. Technical systems have been modernized, gas boiler and underfloor heating systems have been installed.

The renovation of the apartment has been done with necessary approvals, only using natural materials, such as lime plaster and paints.

Cozy cafes and restaurants, cultural and entertainment facilities, as well as beautiful parks and the green area of ​​Nunne Street are just a few steps away from the apartment. Despite of the location in the heart of Old Town this home is quiet and peaceful.

The unexplored basement is a continued journey for the true collector.
