Maarjamäe Palace

Maarjamäe Palace (or Maarjamäe Castle) is a building in Maarjamäe, Tallinn. The palace is located at the site of the earlier Maarjamäe summer manor (Estonian: Maarjamäe suvemõis), which is its main building.[1] Today, the palace is used by the Estonian History Museum.[2]

The palace was designed by the architect Robert Gödicke and built in 1872 (or 1874).[1][2] The palace was designed in the historicist style.[2] The park has an exhibition of Soviet-era statues dating from the Soviet occupation that were removed from other public spaces following the Estonian Sovereignty Declaration in 1988.[3]
