Tartu Cathedral

Tartu Cathedral is the ruin of a Brick Gothic church on Toome Hill, begun in the 13th century and completed around 1500 as the seat of the bishops of Tartu. Wrecked after the Reformation and the Livonian War, its choir was rebuilt in the early 1800s as the university library and now houses the University of Tartu Museum; the towers open in summer.
