10x10 RR #9
Sender: elgee
Tallinn
Tallinn  is the capital and largest city of Estonia. Tallinn's Old Town is in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In 2011 Tallinn is a European Capital of Culture!

I've been to Tallinn about 8 years ago. And liked this not so big, but very nice city. Especially, its tiny streets of Old Town.

Vasalemma manor. Kuremaa windmill. Marsh Helleborine.

Vasalemma is a small borough in Harju County, northwestern Estonia. Vasalemma manor was founded in 1825 and has belonged both to the von Ramms and von Baggehufwudts. The Vasalemma manor house is one of Estonia’s most beautiful bare limestone Neo-Gothic manor houses and it was completed in 1894. The building now houses a school.

Kuremaa windmill is a restored stone windmill of a so-called Dutch type windmill, as is more common in mainland Estonia. These windmills are usually made out of stone and only their heads can turn. Windmill was built around 1860-1870 and served until approximately 1930. During the Soviet regime it was tried to make a silo out of it by burning the interior. In the 1980s it was used as a place for parties by youngsters from Kuremaa. Finally the windmill was restored with help of the European Regional Development Fund in 2008.
