Canute Guild

Also known as St Canute's Guild

The Canute Guild was a guild of craftsmen in Reval (Tallinn), named after the Danish saint Canute and dominated by German master artisans. With the Olaf Guild it represented the town's craftsmen, below the Great Guild of merchants that controlled the town council. Its 19th-century guild hall on Pikk Street still stands.
