Rataskaevu 16, Tallinn

Harjumaa · Estland · Haunted house

On the top floor of Tallinn's most famous haunted house, the Devil himself is said to have thrown a wedding one night – the servant who peeked did not survive.

The house at 16 Rataskaevu Street in Tallinn's Old Town carries the city's most cherished tale of terror. A ruined homeowner was visited one night by a stranger offering a great sum of money in exchange for holding a party in the topmost room – on condition that no one disturb it. Music thundered until dawn, and according to legend it was the Devil himself celebrating his wedding; a servant who peeked through the keyhole was found struck dumb and died soon after. The room's window is said to have been bricked up ever since, and a false painted window can still be seen on the facade. Today one of the city's best-loved restaurants occupies the haunted house.
