In 2014, the Great Guildhall was among the first to be awarded the new European Cultural Heritage Mark . To receive the mark, two important conditions must be met - the object must be of great importance from the point of view of European history and culture, and also express the idea of European integration.
Considering the application of the Estonian History Museum, the jury noted that the medieval building of the Great Guild and the connection of merchants with the Hanseatic League is a good example of medieval European integration. The role of the merchant guild and its building in European history can be learned from the permanent exhibition of the Estonian History Museum
