Narva Castle

The city of Narva is the country's, if not the whole European Union's, easternmost destination. Despite the fact that the city was extensively damaged during WWII, the majestic and ancient Narva Castle still exists. Built-in the 13th century by the Danes as a palace for the Danish King's vice-Regent, the castle is also known as Hermann Castle. The Narva Museum, as well as a variety of handcraft studios where you may witness and perhaps learn medieval techniques, is located inside the castle. On the Russian side of the river, the castle tower overlooks the Ivangorod castle.

In summer, the Northern Yard, an artisan's history center, operates out of the north yard of the castle, while the Western Yard hosts huge open-air events and is a popular spot for free time and wandering. The Linne Herb Garden, which was inspired by Swedish botanist Carl Linne's notion of enriching ancient places by constructing both beautiful and practical gardens, is also located here. The only restaurant in Narva to be listed in the White Guide rankings of the finest places to dine in Estonia is Narva Museum's restaurant Rondeel, which is located in the artillery tower in the northwest corner of the Western Yard.
