The mightiest Baroque fortification building in Tallinn
The bastion gets its name from a South Swedish province, Skåne. In 1948, a Stalinist summer theatre building was opened on one part of the bastions, which was the biggest wooden building at that time in Estonia. In 1997 the summer theatre burnt down. As part of the cultural capital year in 2011 for the summer season the distinctive, temporary, Straw Theatre was built on the Skoone bastion. In the surrounding area different playgrounds have been put up. Skoone bastion park is also home to the first parkour ground in the whole of Eastern Europe.
