Kiek in de Kök, Tallinn

Kiek in de Kök (Low German: Peek into the Kitchen) is an artillery tower in Tallinn, Estonia, built in 1475.

[1] It gained the name Kiek in de Kök from the ability of tower occupants to see into kitchens of nearby houses.

Cannon balls dating back to 1577 are still embedded in its outer walls.

At this time it became a repository for archives and some floors were converted to apartments.

Twentieth-century restoration work saw the tower and surrounding area returned to a more historical look.
