Kuressaare , also known as Arensburg, is an incredibly picturesque small town on Estonia’s Saaremaa island and the country’s westernmost town. Located on the coast of the Gulf of Riga on the Baltic Sea, it is connected to the mainland via the Kuressaare Airport and two harbors – Roomassaare Harbor and Kuressaare Yacht Harbor. The medieval Kuressaare Castle built in the 14th century is today home of the Saaremaa Regional Museum and is surrounded by a wide, scenic moat. The town hall, which was built in 1654, was carefully restored to retain its baroque and classicist features. Town’s St Nicolaus Church was built in the late 18th century. In the 19th century Kuressaare was a popular seaside resort, and it is today known for its spas.
