About this stone

This medieval fortress was originally constructed by the Livonian Brothers of the Sword in the 13th century, serving as both a stronghold and residence for the Livonian Order. Over centuries, it passed through the hands of Swedish and Russian rulers, each leaving their mark on its architecture and history. The castle remains a testament to the region's complex past, standing as a striking example of medieval military design. Visitors find themselves wandering through grounds that invite exploration at every turn, with layers of history visible in its stone walls and layout.
