Saaremaa Essentials

Saaremaa’s landscape is defined by its medieval heritage and unique geological features. This selection includes the 14th-century Kuressaare Episcopal Castle and the ancient meteorite craters at Kaali. Coastal landmarks range from the 21-meter-high Panga cliffs to the Sõrve and Kiipsaare lighthouses. The island’s cultural history is preserved through the wooden trestle mills at Angla, the historic churches of Valjala and Pöide, and the regional exhibits within the Saaremaa Museum.
