Review:
Toompea Castle is now the home of the Parliament of Estonia, but at one point it was a stunning 9th century fortress. Visitors can book one of the free castle excursions ahead of time and learn more about its history, which includes the legend of it being built by a character from Estonian mythology, Linda. The castle’s history also tells stories of Valdemar II and his Danish crusaders taking over the castle, as well as the Order of the Brethren of the Sword taking it over. Visitors can explore the Baroque and neo-Classical style architecture inside and out, walk the stunning castle complex, or relax in the park on the castle grounds. Visitors can also sit in on sessions of parliament in the public gallery.
