Saaremaa Museum

The bishopric castle tells the story of Saaremaa

The Saaremaa Museum is located in the convent building of Kuressaare Castle, which dates back to the 14th century, and together with the surrounding fortifications, is one of the most completely preserved fortresses in Northern Europe. During the summer season, the tower cafe is open, and craft workshops with a historical feel, concerts and Castle Days are organised. Exhibitions introducing the culture and history of Saaremaa are on display in the halls and adjacent buildings. The branches of the Saaremaa Museum include the Mihkli Farm Museum located in the village of Viki, where one family’s household that has housed eight generations since the beginning of the 18th century is on display, as well as the Johannes and Joosep Aavik House Museum, the home of the philologist and music teacher in Kuressaare.
