Toompea Castle
is a castle on
Toompea
hill in the central part of
Tallinn
, the capital of
Estonia
. Though the castle is located on an ancient stronghold site in use since at least the 9th century, much of the current building was constructed in the 13th and 14th century by the
Order of the Brethren of the Sword
. Today the castle houses the
Parliament of Estonia
, which meets in a building designed by
Eugen Habermann
and
Herbert Johanson
.
