Peter the Great's Cottage Tallinn

The Old Palace is actually a summer cottage. Both Peter and Catherine I remained here during the early 18th century. Alexander I also spent some time there. It is unique, being one of the few of its type intact today. As such, it is a valuable piece of architectural history. Today, the house is a museum piece. Within, you can visit the various rooms as they would have appeared during the Tsarist era in Tallinn. There is a canopy bed, capable of swallowing a small elephant. A stroll through Peter the Great’s cottage lets you see the various rooms and articles reflective of the time and the man. There is a living room, bedroom and dining room containing period furniture and articles. Portraits grace the wall, keeping the era frozen in time.
