Exploring abandoned Gulag in Estonia

We were in Tallinn, Estonia and found out about an abandoned soviet prison called Patarei Fortress so we took a walk from the Old City of Tallinn over to the abandoned fortress. The abandoned building is closed to the public apart from an exhibition about communism in this prison, which was closed when I was there.

We show you around the outside of the abandoned prison, which overlooks the bay of Finland. Apparently a lot of innocent people were held here by both the Soviet Union and the Germans.

Patarei fortress in Tallinn, part of European architectural heritage, is a Classical defensive structure that has retained its stylistic purity. This is a memorial to the victims of communism and fascism, as well as a meaningful symbol of resistance on the part of martyrs of the Republic of Estonia. The construction of Patarei Sea Fortress started under the orders of Nicholas I in 1828. After completion, it began operating as an artillery battery. The premises covering four hectares have had different functions – barracks and a prison.

The exhibition area ‘Communism is a prison’, introducing the ideology and crimes of communism and the history of the building, is open in Patarei prison.
