It is worth the small 1.50 Euro entry fee to see the inside of this church from the early 1300s! There is interesting art from many hundreds of years ago, plus the fee helps the maintenance. I was in Tallinn on a 9-hour stopover on a Norwegian Getaway 9-day Baltic Cruise in August 2019. Rick Steves "Scandinavian & Northern European Cruise Ports" Guidebook was a great help and this church was part of the self-guided "Tallinn Walk" in the book.

Old 13 century church which is very simple in architecture but has a very overwhelming woodwork interior that is a must see when in the city I had the pleasure of being accompanied during my visit by an organ repetition that sounded wonderful The highlight is the woodwork and paintings, very well crafted, you really feel taken back half a millennium

Church from the 13th century - small but really well preserved and really worth the visit. If you are lucky, you can enjoy a free organ concert

Beautiful, well preserved, its an Estonian jewel. The woodwork is truly amazing, the detail is from a different era, that would be difficult to replicate. It is a must see, no picture can come near the experience to see this place in person. The entry fee is reasonable. I will visit this church every day, because there's too much detail to be taken in, in one visit.
