Canute Guild (Estonian: Kanuti gild; French: Guilde de Sainte-Canut) was a guild in Tallinn, Estonia. The guild was named after St Knud Lavard (1096−1131), son of Eric I of Denmark, Duke of Schleswig[1]
The guild was established probably in 13th century; it was mentioned first in 1326. At the beginning, the guild was composed of artisans and merchants. After the creation of the Great Guild (circa 14th century), the merchants relocated thence.[1]
Most of the guild's members were Germans. For Estonians, becoming a member was restricted, especially between 1508 and 1698.[1]
The guild closed in 1920, after around six centuries of service.[1]
