Peter the Great’s Cottage, also known as “the old palace” (the current Kadriorg Palace being “the new palace”), has a long and fascinating history. This humble structure is where Peter the Great and Catherine I stayed during visits to Tallinn in the early 18th century. Alexander I and several tsars’ courtiers have also frequented the cottage.

The exhibit in Peter the Great’s Cottage includes the living room, dining room and bedroom as well as newly renovated rooms in the attic and basement. The cottage is furnished with articles that belonged to the Tsar and other period items.
