A development at Niguliste Church (St. Nicholas Church) in Tallinn Old Town in 2021 will see an elevator and viewing platform built for the tower of the church, allowing for tourists and locals alike to take a view of Tallinn from some 100 m above ground.
The idea to open the restored church s tower to the public, adding a viewing platform, exposition rooms and an elevator, originates from the 1970s. Back then, the contruction was not carried out due to several reasons, but an elevator shaft was built during restoration works, allowing for the Art Museum of Estonia to return to the topic in the early-2000s, explained Tarmo Saaret, director of the museum in Nigulist Church.
