Exploring the birthplace of the Danish flag

Estonia is a country with rich history. During my time there, I signed up for a tour where a guide brought us to various landmarks in Estonia and shared with us the historical significance of each spot. This place is called Danish King's Garden as King Valdemar II of Denmark and his army camped here before conquering Toompea in 1219. It is also the place where the Danish flag originated. Legend has it that Valdemar's troops were losing the battle against the Estonians when the skies opened to reveal a red flag with a white cross from heaven. This motivated the Danes and spurred the Danish army on to victory. Location: Taani Kuninga aed, Tallinn Old Town #createwithtrip #culturewalk #history
