Bishop's Garden Viewing Platform

This guide to the Bishop's Garden Viewing Platform in Tallinn starts at your feet, with fourteen carved Roman numerals marking the Stations of the Cross laid into a Lutheran cathedral's garden path, a devotional route the Reformation was meant to have erased. It traces the plot's centuries as the bishop's private ground, walled off until the wall came down in seventeen seventy-eight, and what still survives from those closed years: two ancient oak trees and a medieval well, recently restored and lit from within, with paradise apple trees planted around it in a small echo of Eden.
