the Reformation and Livonian war the church was badly damaged, and the fire in 1624 made complete
destruction for the cathedral. After some time library moved into the cathedrals choral room, it lasted there for
nearly two hundred years. After that it became to Tartu University History Museum.
After the cathedral you will walk for about 10 minutes as you will notice the Angel Bridge. The name of the
bridge "Inglisild" probably comes from the name "Inglisesild", which means "English bridge", due to the fact
that the Toome Hill park was constructed in the English style.
