It is located behind Raekoja plats, and lies opposite the Great Guild and Maiasmokk, Tallinn's oldest café.

[2] The fact that the church does not face due east may suggest that it was erected in an already built-up area and had to adapt to the street layout.

The original wooden ceiling was replaced in 1360, when the present vaulting, tower and large gothic windows were added.

[4] The church has a plain, white-washed exterior with crow-stepped gables, an octagonal tower with the above-mentioned reconstructed renaissance spire and few but rather large Gothic windows with fine stone dressing.

It dates from 1483 and depicts, on the central panel, the descent of the Holy Ghost on the twelve apostles at Pentecost.
