Wartime Layers of Maarjamäe Palace
Maarjamäe Palace stands in a coastal landscape of buildings and memorials carrying memories of different wars and governments.
The palace and its surroundings have served different purposes over time. Today’s museum presents Estonian history beside an area of memorials built by different authorities or given new interpretations later. No single monument represents every event or person remembered here. Compare construction dates of the palace, exhibition spaces and commemorative structures: the layers reveal how each period engaged with what stood before it.
