The Order Castle has protected Toompea since the middle of the 11th century. Tsarina Catherine II had it converted into a baroque palace in 1770. Today, the Estonian Parliament meets here.

Depending on the time of year and lighting conditions, it can be a bit creepy as all three sculptures have no facial features.
