Veerenni - gallows hill, hospital and Luther Factory!

At first glance, the Veerenni area might not seem very attractive for exploration, but let's hold on a moment - this is where Tallinn's medieval gallows hill was located. Did you know that the Hanseatic city of centuries past used five methods to punish criminals: hanging, breaking wheel, being buried alive, decapitation by sword, and burning at the stake? Furthermore, it wasn't a random choice which horrifying method was used - we'll explore this grim topic directly in the epicenter of those historical events, Veerenni! But that's not all, as we'll also take a significant leap in time on the topic of crime and pass by the old Tallinn Prison, looking for the site where one of Estonia's last cinematic prison escapes took place. We will also explore lighter topics - Veerenni can be considered Estonia's oldest medical campus and the factory campus of one of our most powerful industrial companies of all time, the Luther Factory. Of course, we'll visit and talk about these as well.
