Kochi Aidad
Kochi Aidad – meeting place at the sea gate!
Port, as the sea gate of Tallinn, has always been an important place for the town. Through centuries there has been much activity in the port.
The warehouse complex on Lootsi Street is a remainder of the good times of Tallinn trading port – the second half of the 19thcentury. The warehouses that were built between the 1870s and I World War are known as Girard and Koch Storehouses, named after their original owners, Baron Girard de Soucanton and large merchant Koch. The old buildings, retaining the history of the previous century, have been renovated to a modern tavern-brewery, coffee shop and shopping and service centre.
