Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church

The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church is a quaint, small medieval-style building with smooth exteriors and narrow windows, nestled in the narrow alleys of Tallinn’s Old Town. It serves not only as a cultural center for Tallinn’s Ukrainian community but also as a museum exhibiting Ukrainian religious art and handicrafts.

Although members of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church have been active in Tallinn since the 17th century, the church itself was built later in the Old Town. A few years later, the congregation purchased the building, which was then renovated to offer worshippers a comfortable and revitalized interior space. Its architectural style blends tradition with modernity, featuring an attractive interior decor and a beautiful iconostasis designed by Pyotr Gumenyuk.
