town of Pskov recorded how the whole Tallinn burnt down.

''The Lord's word shall last forever.''
An attravtive clock, the oldest public timepiece of Tallinn, can be seen in the outside
wall of the church; this dates back to the 17 th century. The main altar of the church was
created by the famous master Bernt Notke in 1483. It is a two-wing cupboard altar richly
decorated with carvings and paintings and one of the mos valuable examples of medieval
clerical art in Estonia. The church was also fitted with numerous side altars before the
reformation.
