St. Simeon's and St. Anne's Cathedral Church is an Eastern Orthodox church in Tallinn, Estonia. Construction of the original church on the site began in c. 1752, and it was consecrated in 1755. It was remodelled and extended in the 1870s. After being decommissioned in 1963 in the antireligion-era of Soviet control, it was used for various purposes while not under church authority. The fabric of the building was greatly altered during this period. In 1999, the process of returning the property to the Eastern Orthodox Church began, and since then it has been used by a congregation of the autonomous Estonian Orthodox Church (EAOK). Now a constituent parish and cathedral church of the EAOK archdiocese of Tallinn, it was extensively restored early in the 21st century. The church is dedicated to the saints Simeon the God-receiver and Anna the Prophetess, both New Testament figures who appear in the Gospel of Luke.
