The Long Hermann was built as a tall and slender watchtower between 1360 and 1370. It was expanded in the 16th century to its current height of 45.6 m. Its spire is 95 m above sea level. According to medieval tradition, the sturdy tower was called "Hermann."
The tower consists of ten floors and an observation deck. A steep stone staircase with 215 steps leads to it.

Tall Hermann, the tower of Toompea Castle, was built in 1371.
A narrow stone staircase of 215 steps leads to the top of the tower where flies the national flag of Estonia. The blue, black, and white of the national flag were first seen here on 12 December 1918 and after years of Soviet occupation, again on 24 February 1989. The flag is raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset.
