The Bishopric Today
The centre of the bishopric was the Tartu (Dorpat) castle (Estonian: Toomemägi). The castle was damaged during the Northern War and was dismantled during the 18th century, later (at the beginning of 19th century) an observatory was built on the site. The seat of the bishopric, Dorpat Cathedral or Tartu Cathedral, was damaged during the Protestant Reformation and has been in ruins since the 17th century.
