Church of Our Lady of Kazan (Tallinn) (Estonian: Tallinna Kaasani kirik) is a Russian Orthodox church in Tallinn, Estonia. The church building is the oldest wooden structure in Tallinn.[1]
The church was built in 1721. At the moment of erecting, this church was the first church in Estonia completed after Great Northern War.[1]
In the 19th century, big reconstruction works took place. After the works, the church has a neoclassical facade and interior.[1]
Next to the church is located Church of Our Lady of Kazan's poplar (Estonian: Kaasani kiriku pappel). This poplar is the oldest and thickest poplar in Estonia.[2]
