The White Hall

The White Hall of the House of the Blackheads is one of the oldest public halls in Tallinn, built for entertainment purposes. It was constructed in 1531-1532 and was one of the first Renaissance-style rooms in the Baltic States. The hall obtained its current form during extensive renovations from 1909-1911, which closed the historic street segment between Pikk Street and Pühavaimu Street, evident today by the cobblestone pavement on the basement floor. Another unique feature of the White Hall is its entrance from Pikk Street at the first floor level, while offering a third-floor view from the windows facing Pühavaimu Street. Like ancient times when it served as the House of the Blackheads' grand hall for feasts, celebrations, and receptions, today it hosts a variety of events, from concerts and diverse celebrations to technically advanced gatherings and seminars. The hall is rented out together with three salons (former guild storage rooms), which are interconnected and comfortably separated by doors.

Olaf’s Guild Hall

Olevi Guild Hall (also known as Olavi Hall) is the oldest and most ceremonial room in the House of the Blackheads in terms of architecture.

Built between 1419-1422, this two-nave hall with its rare high Gothic star vault is considered one of the most magnificent architectural masterpieces in Tallinn. The hall of St. Olaf's Guild housed the members of small trades during the Middle Ages, representing both Estonians and Scandinavians, with King Olav II Haraldson of Norway as their patron saint. The original spatial layout dates back to the early 15th century. The hall underwent extensive restoration in the latter half of the 18th century and was last renovated by the Brotherhood of Blackheads in 1921-1922, giving it the appearance it maintains today. The walls are covered with specially stained dark wooden panels made at A. M. Luther's furniture factory in Tallinn. Two dark blue neo-Renaissance style tile stoves decorated with rose tiles (custom-made in Turku) are located against the northern wall of the hall, while the ceiling is adorned with 12-lamp chandeliers ordered from Berlin. Olavi Hall, the crown jewel of Tallinn Gothic architecture, is renowned for having one of the best acoustics of any chamber hall in the city.

With a size of 200m2, the hall accommodates:
- Concert: 100 people
- Cocktail reception: 180 people
- Buffet reception: 90 people

Faternity hall

The Brothers' Hall was historically one of the most prestigious rooms in the entire building.
When the Brotherhood of Blackheads began renting a private house at Pikk Street 26 for their gatherings in 1406, unfortunately, there wasn't enough space for their hundred members. Therefore, in 1417, the second-floor living and storage rooms were converted, and a spacious hall with three large windows was created. After several renovations, the hall acquired a grand appearance and became the showcase for the most valuable part of the Blackheads' painting collection, of which 27 portraits have survived to this day. The grandeur of the past is vividly represented by magnificent doors and a beam ceiling.
Today, the hall is primarily used for workshops and seminars, as well as for rehearsals and public concerts by the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra.
The 134m2 room accommodates:
Concert: 100 people
Training: 120 people
Reception: 150 people

Faternity room

Next to the Vennaste Hall, the Vennaste Room (Elder's Room) is located in a building purchased by the Brotherhood of Blackheads in 1806, situated adjacent to the main house, playing a significant role in the brotherhood's activities. Shortly after acquiring the building, major renovations were undertaken, converting the former storage room into one of the most important spaces for the brotherhood – a room for relics and meetings. Adorned with a beautiful stained glass window framed in tin, replacing a trade hatch, the room housed valuable relics, including a rare silver cup in the shape of a stag's foot, the brotherhood's flags, and a coat of arms bearing the motto "Vincendum aut moriendum" (to conquer or to die). Today, the rare silver collection of the Brotherhood of Blackheads, once stored in a large steel safe in the same room, is now on display at the Niguliste Church-Museum. Additionally, a small-sized cannon was also kept in this room. The room is further embellished with a beautiful glazed tile stove. Currently, this cozy space hosts Baroque concerts and serves well for workshops/seminars, as a photo and television studio.

Basement Hall

The Cellar Hall of the House of the Blackheads acquired its current form between 1419-1422, during the vaulting of the upper floor hall wing. It was during this time that the exceptionally thick square pillars in the cellar hall were constructed. Originally, the walls were covered with dark wood panels, and the room housed billiard and card tables.

Before World War II, the cellar hall was home to a stylish restaurant that opened in 1922 with interior design by Ernst Kühnert. Today, the Basement Hall is home to the Estonian Centre of Contemporary Music.

The space can be rented with or without furniture, including a stage and the existing furniture in the hall.

Capacity:
The club-like cellar hall (175m2) accommodates 95 people (20 tables, 75 chairs, 10 sofas).

Inner Courtyard

Courtyard influenced by Renaissance architecture
The courtyard was built in 1531-1532 and is located on the basement level. It is characterized by two powerful arches that support the White Hall above it. The stairs and arches on different levels resemble more of a medieval Italian courtyard rather than that of a Tallinn merchant's residence.
The exceptionally intriguing atmosphere creates a unique ambiance – concerts and theatrical performances are held in this courtyard, coffee breaks and formal dinners are hosted.
The courtyard's size is 77 m2 and it is rented with medieval-style furniture.
Capacity:
Concert: 40 people
Cocktail reception: 40 people
Buffet: 30 people
