Kuressaare Essentials

Kuressaare, the capital of Saaremaa, is centered around its remarkably preserved 14th-century episcopal castle. The town’s layout showcases Northern Baroque and neoclassical architecture, featuring a 17th-century town hall and historic stone churches. This selection highlights the city's core landmarks, including a traditional Dutch-style windmill, the central market for regional goods, and monuments detailing the island's role in the Estonian War of Independence.
