House of the Blackheads
House of the Blackheads is a decorated merchant-brotherhood building on Pikk Street. The façade and surviving ceremonial rooms trace the social life of unmarried Hanseatic merchants.
Study the decorated Pikk Street façade for a glimpse of the merchant brotherhood’s status in Hanseatic Tallinn. If the ceremonial rooms are accessible during your visit, they add another layer; the exterior alone still gives a worthwhile pause on the way to Great Guild Hall.
