Toompea fire
In 1684 a fire destroyed much of Toompea, the upper town of Tallinn where the nobility and officials lived. In the Dome Church the wooden furnishings burned, some vaults collapsed and many stone carvings were badly damaged. The church was largely restored by 1686, receiving a new pulpit and, in 1696, an altarpiece by Christian Ackermann. The baroque spire was added later, in 1778–79. Many of Toompea's manor-like town houses were rebuilt after the fire, giving the hill much of its present look.

1684. aastal hävitas tulekahju suure osa Toompeast, Tallinna ülalinnast, kus elasid aadlikud ja ametnikud. Toomkirikus põles puidust sisustus, osa võlve varises sisse ja paljud kiviraidkaunistused said tugevalt kannatada. 1686. aastaks oli kirik suures osas taastatud, sellele valmisid Christian Ackermanni kantsel ja 1696. aastal altar. Barokne tornikiiver lisandus hiljem, aastatel 1778–1779. Paljud Toompea mõisalaadsed linnamajad ehitati pärast tulekahju uuesti üles ja need annavad mäele suuresti praeguse ilme.
