St. Nicholas Church (Tallinn, Estonia – July 2019)

This church was originally built in the 13th Century. The Russians bombed it to smithereens in 1944 (sound familiar?). The rebuilding took almost 30 years, from 1953 until 1981.

Like most other educated countries (except the ignorance-loving USA) in the world (Japan, Sweden, Denmark, Czech Republic, etc.), less than 20% of Estonians believe in god(s) so this building now serves as a museum.

I was very close to going to the 2019 Viljandi Folk Music Festival in Estonia. I had a photo pass and everything, but getting there from Tallinn via public transportation looked like a nightmare. I was going to waste most of my two days in Estonia traveling to and from the festival and not get to explore Tallinn. So I skipped the festival but was able to hear a bit of folk music at the Estonian Open Air Museum.
