Toompea Castle<\/strong>
Authors: Rein Zobel, Juhan Maiste<\/strong>, Mart Kalm<\/strong>
Three distinguished Estonian art historians analyse the history of Toompea Castle from the architectural point of view, but also discuss the construction of the centuries-old castle complex against the backdrop of political and economic changes and shifts in mentality. Every chapter contains new and previously unpublished (art) historical material that significantly improves our knowledge of the best known castle complex in Estonia. The book also contains many previously unpublished photos, ground plans of buildings, projects and sketches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
