Kiek in de Kök

Kiek in de Kök is a 38-metre artillery tower on the slope of Toompea, built in 1475 and named in Low German for the view its gunners had into the kitchens below. Now the Fortifications Museum of the Tallinn City Museum, it covers the tower, the Maiden, Stable and Gate towers on the town wall and 17th-century bastion passages with a carved stone collection.
