House of the Blackheads

The House of the Blackheads on Pikk Street was the seat of the Brotherhood of Blackheads, a society of unmarried merchants and shipowners, from 1406 until 1940. Its Renaissance façade of 1597 by Arent Passer has a carved stone portal and painted doors from the 1640s. Today the Tallinn Philharmonic holds concerts in its White Hall and St Olaf's Hall.
