Public rooftop garden opens at Põhjala factory in Kopli

A public rooftop garden has opened this summer at Põhjala factory in Tallinn's Kopli district, welcoming visitors throughout the season. Unlike typical rooftop terraces found at exclusive restaurants or office buildings, this is a green space accessible to everyone.

Hidden above the industrial courtyards of Tallinn's Kopli district lies a surprising green oasis-a public rooftop garden has opened this summer at Põhjala factory, welcoming all visitors.

For most people, rooftop terraces are associated with exclusive restaurants, stylish bars, or modern office buildings. The Põhjala factory rooftop garden, however, is something quite different-a democratic and universally accessible urban space where anyone can spend time.

The rooftop garden is open to visitors throughout the warm months. It is a rare phenomenon in Tallinn's urban environment, where public green spaces on rooftops are virtually non-existent. The Kopli industrial district has undergone remarkable transformation in recent years, evolving into a creative neighbourhood where historical industrial heritage meets contemporary urban culture.
