Wine Cellar of the Great Guild
Stores beneath the Great Guild Hall supported merchant hospitality, though the cellar tells more than a story about wine.
The Great Guild Hall at Pikk 17 served as a place for assemblies, representation and social gatherings. Lower rooms helped hold the goods needed for feasts, including drinks. Stored supplies speak of wealth and organisation: who purchased, counted and distributed shared property? There is no need to imagine every commercial decision being made over wine. The rooms below show some of the practical work that supported the splendour of the hall above.
