A little different to our usual style but in this video Craig heads over to Pirita Convent (Pirita Klooster) a monastery once used for both monks and nuns dedicated to St. Brigitta. Pirita Convent dates back to 1407 and was the largest catholic monastery in Livonia (Latvia and Estonia). During the Livonian war in 1577, Pirita Convent was attacked by Russian troops under the leadership of Ivan the Terrible. They sacked the monastery, looted its riches and burned it down. Pirita Convent was abandoned since then, but Estonians have found a use for these ruins. Destroyed fortification and church walls today serve as decoration for arranging summer concerts and a yearly celebration of Convent’s Day.
In this video Pirita Convent is being used as the set for a medieval movie shoot continuing on from the previous video where we filmed the first scenes for the Tales of Reval tourist information movie over at Olde Hansa: • STARRING IN A MEDIEVAL... (four part mini acting series based around Tallinn) Making History for all to see and learn about Tallinn!
After filming is done for the day, we both head out of Tallinn over to Lohusalu beach to cool off as it has been seriously hot and Kirsty had been inside all day editing videos! Summertime in the Baltics is hot and beautiful!
We also make a quick stop off to take in the view of Türisalu pank which is a cliff edge looking out over the bay. As beautiful as this spot is, it has unfortunately gained a reputation as a place where many people commit suicide, especially younger people.

A British couple from just outside London, England. We got married in 2018 and decided instead of a honeymoon we’d travel the world together for a year. We saved money and travel points, quit our jobs, rented our house out and boarded a one way flight. We started this RU-vid channel to share our experiences with friends, family and anyone who plans to travel to the places we’re visiting. We leave TKT tips/facts on our vlogs and blogs to give information that we wish we’d had before visiting. We hope you find our content useful :)
