Kiek in de Kök is also the starting place for visitors interested in the fascinating system of hidden tunnels (Bastion tunnels) that run underneath the old bastions of Toompea hill. Make sure to pay a visit to the top floor café for beautiful Old Town views. Kiek in de Kök was originally built in the 1470s, but quickly expanded and strengthened, now the walls are four metres thick. The investment paid off: During the Livonian war in the late 1500s, Ivan the Terrible's forces managed to blow a huge hole through the top storey, but the tower held. During post-war repairs, a row of four cannon balls was placed in the newly patched stone wall as a memorial. You can still see them on the tower's south east side. http://www.tourism.tallinn.ee/eng/fpage/explore/attractions/old_town #!p_174740

The actual construction commenced on July 5th, 1916 on the site officially named as Tallinn's Seaplane Harbour and in parallel with the hangars port piers were also constructed. On October 13th, 1917, the construction team received an order to suspend all construction due to the war. Fortunately the hangars were almost ready by that time (only short of large-scale sliding doors, ramps for launching the planes and the floors had no wood cover). These seaplane hangars are unique shell concrete structures, which demonstrate engineering 20 years ahead of its time.
