The officers’ house of Baltic Fleet on Mere puiestee is one of the most outstanding ones among the Stalinist cultural palaces. It was a building representing (high-) urban Baroque theatres, and which was built on top of the ruins of Grand Marina. On the ceiling of the central hall, there is a circular mural painting resembling the hall of Estonian National Opera.
In the foyer and the halls of the building, there have been preserved some still authentic decorations – fabulous chandeliers, sculptures and paintings. The building which is currently known as Russian Cultural Centre was named as an architectural monument in 1997.
Guided tours on Saturday and Sunday at 12:00, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 and 4:00 pm. Meeting in the foyer.
