Narva Muuseum

"Narva Castle, also known as Hermann Castle, stands as a majestic testament to Narva's rich history in Estonia. This 14th-century fortress has witnessed centuries of power struggles, serving as a crucial defense point guarding the eastern frontier. Built by the Danes around 1256, Narva Castle initially served as a residence for the Danish King's representative. Over the centuries, the castle has been under the rule of various powers, including Sweden, Russia, and Germany. Each era left its mark on the castle's architecture and strategic importance. Narva Castle's strategic position along the Narva River made it a key player in numerous battles, most notably the Great Northern War in the early 18th century."
