TALLINN ÜLEMINE
TULETORN
Tallinn, Estonia
My first lighthouse, or tuletorn, in Estonia. Not too far from where I was staying at the Radisson in downtown Tallinn. Nice room too. Anyway, I saw this on my first trip down to Tallinn from Oulu, Finland. My host at work took me over to see this and the little red one, Tallinn Alumine. I didn't find the way to the door until my second visit two weeks later.
This 40 meter tower was constructed in 1835. It is located inside a walled community that has no car access but you are free to walk in there. I didn't see a plaque or anything of that nature. It is operational and works as the rear range light with the Alumine.
Here's how I saw it:
