Built in pseudo-Romanesque style on the site of a 17th century wooden church, Kaarli is an excellent example of the use of one of Estonia's greatest resources - limestone. In all, construction took 20 years (1862 - 1882), but painter Johann Köler completed Estonia's largest mural here, Come to Me, in just ten days. The church is also home to Estonia's largest church organ.

Saint Olaf's church, which was the tallest church in Medieval Europe, back from the early 13th century. The church was named after the Norwegian king Olaf the Second, who was worshipped as a patron of seafarers. According to the legend the city-fathers erected such high building as a reference point for seafarers, so that merchants with goods did not sail by. The church was many times reconstructed throughout its history, because of its high broach. Lighting often stroke into the broach and caused destructive fires. The Lutheran reform did not leave the church alone as well. Due to the outbursts of this new religious trend, mobs used barbaric methods to free themselves from any symbols of Catholicism. Although the church did not suffer in outward appearance, its gorgeous ornamentation got destroyed in 1524 as a result. The church became Lutheran and today serves a purpose of being is a regular gathering point for coreligionists.
