Church of St. Simeon and the Prophetess Anne
The Church of St. Simeon and the Prophetess Anne is the Orthodox Apostolic Cathedral in Tallinn. It was built between 1752 and 1755 on the initiative of seafarers. As the coastline was then much closer to the city, the church was almost on the waterfront and the foundations had to be filled in. According to tradition, shipwrecks were used for this purpose. The historic wooden building suffered during the Soviet era but has now been completely restored.
