Three Sisters
The Three Sisters at Pikk 71 in Tallinn are a group of merchants' houses founded in the 15th century, with the first records of buildings on the site from 1362. They are among the city's most valuable monuments: the two smaller houses are typical medieval homes, with warehouses on the upper floors, and they keep much of their 15th–16th-century structure, such as limestone-slab ceilings, chimney hoods and wall stairs. Old accounts describe a 17th-century corner house with biblical murals and a big Dutch tiled stove; its fireplace and panelling were sold around 1856 to a count who used them to furnish his St Petersburg home. Since 2003 the houses have been a hotel.

Tallinnas Pikk 71 asuv Kolm Õde on 15. sajandil rajatud kaupmeeste majade rühm; esimesed teated hoonestuse kohta pärinevad 1362. aastast. Need kuuluvad linna väärtuslikumate arhitektuurimälestiste hulka: kaks väiksemat maja on tüüpilised keskaegsed elamud, mille ülemised korrused olid laoruumid, ning neis on säilinud palju 15.–16. sajandi konstruktsioone, nagu paeplaatidega talalaed, mantelkorstnad ja müüritrepid. Vanad kirjeldused räägivad 17. sajandi nurgamajast piibliaineliste seinamaalingute ja suure Hollandi kahhelahjuga; selle kamina ja paneelid müüdi umbes 1856. aastal krahvile, kes sisustas nendega oma Peterburi maja. Alates 2003. aastast on majades hotell.
