Tornimäe (Tornimägi)

Although it means Tower Hill, there’s neither one nor tother in sight. Apparently named after a certain Adam Tornimäe (or Adam X from Tornimäe in Saaremaa), a worker who rented a property from Jaani Seek, St John’s Almshouse, in the early 17^th C, long enough for it to become known as Tornimäe Maja (house). In the 19^th C, Tornimäe was also the place to go for autopsies. See Mäe for discussion.
