This wide-angle view of Pikk Street (Pikk ta"nav) showcases a striking contrast of architectural styles, featuring two of the street s most notable buildings at addresses Pikk 18 and Pikk 20. The Dragon Gallery (Pikk 18): To the right stands one of Tallinn s most eccentric Art Nouveau masterpieces, designed by architect Jacques Rosenbaum and completed in 1910. Its fac,ade is a riot of symbolism, featuring two large dragons flanking the ground-floor window (hence the name "Draakoni Galerii") and Egyptian-inspired sphinxes and female figures on the upper levels. The curved bay window and elaborate curvilinear gable are hallmarks of Rosenbaum s highly decorative style. It currently houses an art gallery run by the Estonian Artists Association. On the left is the St. Canute s Guild Hall (Kanuti Gildi Hoone). This complex facade, with its statues of St. Canute (King of Denmark) and Martin Luther, dates to a major reconstruction in the 1860s in the Tudor Gothic style. Historically, this was the headquarters for the Guild of St. Canute, which organized the city s master artisans (goldsmiths, hatters, bakers, etc.). Today, it functions as the Kanuti Gildi SAAL, a contemporary performing arts center, October 16, 2025
