The Danish King’s Garden next to Toompea hill is the spot where, according to old legend, the Danes first received their national flag. On the brink of losing the battle on June 15, 1219, the flag was handed down to them from the heavens and the battle tide was miraculously turned. Denmark’s victory resulted in over a hundred years of Danish rule in Tallinn and northern Estonia.

Each summer, Danneborg Day is celebrated in the newly renovated, romantic garden.
