Baroque Elegance of Kadriorg Palace in Tallinn

Nestled amidst verdant gardens under the Estonian sky, the Kadriorg Palace stands as a testament to Baroque splendor from its red-brick facade adorned with white trims and golden details to symmetrical windows crowned by green-roofed dormers. This stately edifice was originally built for Tsar Peter the Great during his reign over Russia's Baltic territories, serving both as an imperial residence and a symbol of Russian power. Today it is not only a revered historical monument but also houses art collections that showcase masterpieces ranging across different periods including works by Dutch Old Masters.
