The House of the Blackheads (Mustpeade maja) is a former headquarters of the Brotherhood of Blackheads in Tallinn, Estonia, a professional association of ship owners, merchants and foreigners dating from the 14th century. The Brotherhood acquired the building in 1517, and it was renovated in 1597 under the architect Arent Passer, whose work gave the façade Renaissance architecture from the Low Countries. A Moor, a symbol of the patron saint Saint Maurice, appears carved and sculpted above the door.
