The Rotermann Quarter, located on the edge of the Old Town, offers a unique shopping experience. This area, which just ten years ago was a cluster of dilapidated buildings, is now a vibrant commercial and cultural center, its avant-garde architecture a striking symbol of Tallinn's development in recent years. This superbly restored former factory complex houses a number of shops and restaurants and boasts a vibrant cultural scene. The main square is often used for festivals and open-air events.

The Rotermanni district is not big, but it is a true paradise for architects or those who might want to become one. Avant-garde buildings mix cleverly with the former factory halls of the Rotermann Company. At the end of the last century, the Rotermanns were a very influential merchant and industrial family in Tallinn. Where sawmills, wool and textile factories, weaving mills, mills and distilleries once stood, small designer shops, shops with chic clothes and offices on the upper floors have now spread out. The modern district is so close to the medieval old town and yet is such a complete contrast.

Today's Rotermanni district was created about ten years ago. The Estonians came up with the idea of reusing the old factory buildings instead of letting them fall into disrepair or even simply demolishing them. So the stone buildings were joined by completely modern, new architectural wonders made of steel, glass and brick. This is how the Rotermanni district slowly came into being. Between the houses there are small squares and streets with cafes and restaurants. People sit in the summer evening sun with a glass of wine or beer and listen to a singer who is giving a small concert on a stage.

Beautiful neighborhood next to the old town. Wonderful combination of old buildings and modern architecture.
