Russalka Memorial

The monument is located on the beach of Kadrio, in memory of the 1893 memorial to Russalka, an armored ship from Tallinn to Helsinki. The storm struck the ship before it reached shore, killing 177 crew members. The Russalka sculpture, designed by A. Adamson, is one of Estonia’s classical art.

The monument is located on the beach of Kadrio, in memory of the 1893 memorial to Russalka, an armored ship from Tallinn to Helsinki. The storm struck the ship before it reached shore, killing 177 crew members. The Soviet-era monuments, commemorating the soldiers who died in the Soviet-German war, still have many people here to lay flowers to commemorate their dead comrades.

The sea is the background of the city, the shipwreck is also the pain that the city can never erase, and the monument will always be remembered!
