Antonius Courtyard is a historical site in the heart of Tartu’s Old Town, where history meets contemporary creativity. This special courtyard, with centuries-old craftsmanship and artistic heritage, offers the opportunity to experience a vibrant cultural space in an authentic environment.
Historically, this place is associated with the craft guild known as the St. Anthony’s Guild, whose roots go back to the Middle Ages. Guilds played an important role in the economic and social life of cities, bringing together masters and regulating crafts and trade. The area was located near St. John’s Church and was part of the medieval city structure where craftsmen lived and worked.
Today, Antonius Courtyard is an inspiring creative center where designers, artists, and craftsmen work. It is a popular venue for events — concerts, performances, and other cultural events are held here year-round, bringing together designers, creative entrepreneurs, and visitors.
During opening hours, you can explore the history exhibition about the Tartu County Creative Path and Tartu Small Guild.
