Town Hall Pharmacy in Tallinn displays a green coat of arms with a white unicorn on its stone facade. Records place its origins in the early fifteenth century, making it one of the oldest continuously operating pharmacies in Europe. For generations, the Burchart family ran the shop, supplying medical tinctures and snacks like marzipan to local residents and visiting royalty. The thick walls hold containers of dried frog legs and mummified parts, remnants of a time when pharmacists practiced alchemy alongside chemistry.
