[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
First historical document 1407

The Tallinn high-gabled facades from medieval times developed in 13th and 14th centuries as wooden dwellings were replaced with stone ones. Kuninga street 1 is documented for the first time in 1407.

Renamed to Bishop’s house

After 1424 Kuninga street 1 belonged to Hans Smid. His son Emert married the Bishop of Tallinn’s sister. Later around 1460 Emert inherited the Kuninga 1 property.
