The name of the Danish King's Garden presumably derives from the fact that by the orders of Erik VII Menvend, King of Denmark, in 1311 this area was given to the lower town and the founded city wall became the border between downtown and Toompea. The right to always remain on the stronghold's hill was a freedom given to the lower town and 'no one was ever to stop or interfere with' local people from enjoying this right. The fortifications, the Virgin Tower, the Stable Tower and the Short Leg Gate Tower have been built into the part of the city wall that is adjacent to the Danish King's Garden. The garden was originally only accessible from the Short Leg Street. Also part of the Danish King's Garden is the legend of the origin of the Flag of Denmark, the Dannebrog. The Danes were battling the Estonians on June 15th 1219 and after the Dannebrog, a red flag with a white cross, fell into their camp, the Danes gained the advantage. A white cross on a red background is also the lesser coat of arms of Tallinn. Both the monument established by the Danish-Estonian Society in 1994 and the sculpture 'A Flag Came' by Mari Rass and Liina Stratskas (2012) on the middle terrace of the garden symbolise the legend of the Dannebrog. On the lower terrace is the sculpture 'Monument to the Old King' (Heino Muller, 1969). The current layout of the Danish King's Garden dates back to the year 2000.
