The Danish Period: 1219-1346 In 1219 the Danes led by King Waldemar II, conquered Tallinn and Northern Estonia. Hence the name Tallinn was derived: Taani linn (Danish city). On Dome Hill (Toompea), the new stone fortress, and the Dome Church as a symbol of Christianity were built. A populated city developed at the foot of Toompea. During the Danish period, a street network developed within the city walls that has remained to the present day. A town hall, guild houses, churches and convents, storehouses and defensive structures were built. |
