The substantial ruins of the medieval Bridgettine convent beside the Pirita River.
Why stop here
The surviving façade, walls, cellars and graveyard make the scale of the former convent easy to appreciate. Choose this as a focused history stop during a Pirita visit.
Plan your visit
Check current visitor admission and event arrangements before arrival. Concerts may have separate tickets or restrict access. These are the historic ruins at Merivälja tee 18, not an invitation into the private areas of the modern religious community.
