Linnahall (Estonian:Tallinna Linnahall, 'Tallinn City Hall') (originally theV. I. Lenin Palace of Culture and Sports) is a multi-purpose venue inTallinn,Estonia. It is situated in the harbor, just beyond the walls of the Old Town, and was completed in 1980. The venue also features a heliport and a small seaport.
The1980 Summer Olympics were hosted inMoscow. As inland Moscow had no suitable venue at which to stage thesailing event, this task fell toTallinn, the capital of the thenEstonian SSR.[1] Apart from the main venue for the sailing event,Pirita Yachting Centre, a number of other sports and entertainment facilities were erected,[2] among them the V. I. Lenin Palace of Culture and Sport.[3] designed by architectsRaine Karp and Riina Altmäe.[citation needed]
The skating rink closed in 2009, followed by the concert hall in 2010. The city sought investors from 2009 to 2015, and in 2015 the city council decided to renovate Linnahall, although the project did not come to fruition.[citation needed]
From June to July 2019, the location served as a stand-in for aKyiv opera house during the filming of the feature filmTenet.[4]
It is not to be confused with the primary administrative building of the historical municipal government (Raad) ofTallinn, often referred to as theTown Hall.
