Linnahall is a brutalist multipurpose venue in Tallinn, Estonia, designed by architect Raine Karp and completed in 1980. Originally named the V. I. Lenin Palace of Culture and Sports, the structure sits in the harbor just beyond the Old Town walls and served as a concert hall and ice rink. The building also incorporates a heliport and small seaport, reflecting its ambitious scope as a cultural and civic facility. Now semi-abandoned, Linnahall is recognized as an architectural monument, and its imposing concrete forms exemplify the brutalist style that defined much of its era.
