Review & FAQ:

Founded in the thirteenth century, Haapsalu Castle is one of Estonia’s architectural treasures. The castle was the residence of local authorities until the 17th century. Now, visitors will find that the castle’s main building houses a museum dedicated to the castle’s history, medieval weaponry, and much more. One of the more popular aspects of the castle is the cathedral of the former Oesel-Wiek Bishopric; it is the biggest single-nave church in the Baltic States. Other aspects include the main fortress, which offers stunning views of the surroundings, the watchtower now used as a belfry, and the castle grounds, which have been converted to a park for visitors to enjoy.
