Castles in Estonia
Estonia's medieval heritage combines the best-preserved Gothic old town in northern Europe — Tallinn, a UNESCO World Heritage Site — with a coastline of Teutonic Order castles and the dramatic frontier fortress of Narva, where Hermann Castle faces the Russian Ivangorod Fortress across 150 metres of river. Tallinn's Toompea Castle has been the seat of power in Estonia for 700 years.
