St. Bridget’s Convent – Pirita Convent is from the 15th century and was built by merchants who used it as a trade base for transporting goods from east to west. It was destroyed by the Russian army in early 1575. In the 1930’s a potato field took over a large part of the land. Then in 1934, excavations brought up many artifacts. 2001 was the inauguration of the new St Bridget convent.
