There is a quiet, very old monastery which is 900 years old. For a small fee you can visit it and say there's nothing special inside. But if you take time you can feel the special energy which is really amazing. The monks did know where to build their monasteries and here you can feel it, especially in the energy pillar. Try it yourself and better avoid the small gallery afterwards. This is really bad energy inside there.

As most other sites in Tallin Old Town, Dominican Monastery Claustrum isn't easy to find. The entrance is very small without any clear signs.
Once enter the area, you would feel the monastery itself is very beautiful itself. The staircases are just stunning!
We walked up and found out what we could see. There are a few rooms only but the fee is expensive! Somehow we can't ensure the fee is fixed or not. An old lady told us she would charge us for visiting. Most tourists on that day just went up and then left at once. Most of us also regard the fee is high. they even didn't take photos for the building.

To avoid all those touristy middleage atractions, this is genuine. When i visiting. there was nobody inside even though it was summer peak time. So I could feel really solemn atmosphere of the monastery.

Only on my third try did I find the cloister, and I'm very glad I did. It was a sunny day, and the cloister is secluded and quiet, so I just sat in there for over an hour. There are also medieval religious carvings on display along three corridors inside.

To find the cloister, I had to enter St. Catherine's Passage. If you enter the passage's west end, then shortly on your left you'll see the entrance to Katariina Kirik (currently next to construction). It costs a couple euros to enter the small church turned theatre. The ladies who sold the tickets were only telling some people about the "garden," meaning the cloister, so not even everyone who paid to get into the church knew it was there. If you turn immediately left from the entrance and go right to the end, there are two good-sized bathroom stalls, and a third door that leads into the cloister.

After having glimpsed the cloister from the south windows of St. Peter and Paul's church, I had decided that was close enough, but actually managing to enter the cloister two days later was worth all the trouble of searching for it. It's a beautiful, peaceful place to take a break, sit, and think.

The entry charge is quite small but there's not much to see except for some very dark rooms. If in a hurry you can probably skip seeing the inside and restrict you visit to the small court yard.
