The Ukrainian Cultural Center is a non-denominational organization open to people of all faiths. Our Center is co-located with Tallinn’s Ukrainian Catholic Church and a small Ukrainian Catholic Convent. This beautiful architectural triptych was conceived and designed by Anatolij Ljutjuk. Working together with like-minded friends, Anatolij rebuilt each of these three structures by hand, returning to each building its original medieval spirit in the process.
Those of us who work at the Ukrainian Cultural Center are dedicated to promoting Ukrainian Culture in Estonia. We provide a place where local Ukrainians can preserve their language, culture, and traditions. The Center also makes it possible for Estonians and people of other nationalities to learn more about the Ukrainian way of life.
