Historic Neo-Gothic Estonian knight-castle Keila-Joa Schloss Fall Castle, woke to a new life in 2013 when, after extensive renovation, it reopened its doors to guests. Three years later the boutique hotel was opened, with time-true and stylishly furnished luxury suites, an excellent restaurant and a winery with well-chosen wines.

A fascinating museum where many art exhibitions are displayed and beautiful castle halls where concerts and theatres are held. Just 32 kilometers from Tallinn, near the sea, there is a beautiful park, which has been made unique by the Keila waterfall. Because of the falling water, the gem of this protected area was called Schloss Fall.

Knight’s Castle Keila-Joa Schloss Fall, which emerged already in the 19th century next to Keila River and one of Estonia’s most beautiful waterfall, has seen different times throughout history: it has been grand and glorious, but also forgotten…

The castle’s history is a fascinating and lively snapshot of Estonian history, linking it to the mighty empires, shiny rulers and big personalities. According to the legend, it was here in 1833 that the future imperial Russian national anthem was first performed during a visit of the Russian Emperor Nikolai I.

The castle, that was asleep like a Sleeping Beauty for decades, finally found new owners in 2010. Their dream – to awaken the Neo-Gothic style castle to a new life, became a reality three years later, when in honour of the castle’s 180th anniversary first restored former Volkonsky and Benckendorff living quarters were opened to the public.

In 2016 the second floor, with luxurious suites in the style of the era, was completed. Today, Keila-Joa Schloss Fall Castle has a beautiful boutique hotel, a cozy restaurant, a museum, an exhibition hall and a wine cellar. There are many fascinating exhibitions, concerts, seminars and private events held in Keila-Joa castle.

PALDISKI HARBOUR
Paldiski harbour was destined to become an important stronghold in the Russian defence system, and Czar Peter the Great designed the Dutch type fortifications himself. The fortress with five bastions, located on Pakri peninsula, was cut into the high limestone as one solid construction; the earth walls were 4 m high and 17 m above the sea level. In 1790, the fortress had over 40 cannons.

Between 1939 and 1940, oil storages were built in the moat and a railway branch was extended to the fortress; however, the branch was destroyed during the war. During post-war period, gravel was taken from the earth walls for construction and roads, thus destroying walls between the east and south-east bastions. Bastions afford a wonderful view of the sea.

PAKRI LIGHTHOUSE
This lighthouse is situated on the north-western tip of the Pakri peninsula on a high slate bluff marking the water’s edge of a very important shipping lane along the northern coast. A similar structure has stood here since the time of Swedish rule.

A new slate lighthouse was ordered to be erected here by Peter I in 1724. Another, even bigger (48-foot) lighthouse replaced it in 1760 – possibly a reconstruction of the original. A new stone lighthouse was completed 80 metres from its predecessor in 1889. Due to natural collapse of the cliff face, the old structure had ended up too close to the edge and had to be demolished.

TURISALU KLINT
Türisalu klint is one of the most impressive nature object on the Northern Estonian limestone coast, towering up to 31 metres. Platform of the Türisalu klint with its romantic sea view and easy access is a popular destination among the citizens of Tallinn; the high vantage point affords a breathtaking view of the sea and Vääna-Jõesuu beach.

During a windy day, you can enjoy the view without leaving your car in the car park by the platform. If you would like to get closer to waves, then you should use a trail descending along the klint. Trails go in both directions from the platform; if you go east, or to the right, you can see the wonderful limestone klint from underneath.

TURISALU CLIFF 
It is possible to perform a variety of tricks on the Türisalu cliff – push yourself as far as you can from the fall and you will softly land back. You can also run on the cliff and go for a 360-degree spin around your own axis.

It is easier than it seems. The two slopes are approximately 5 meters away from each other, which means that you can go down with a friend and try to perform the same tricks at the same time.

VAANA JOESUU BEACH
Vääna-Jõesuu beach, frequented visited by several thousand people during hot summer days, has a swimming area with the maximum depth of 1.8 m, surrounded by buoys. In addition, information about the quality of water is displayed during the summer season. The beach is comfortably sandy, and the water gets deep fast, is clean and forms fun bow waves with western winds.

VAANA MANOR
Vääna manor, its park and ancillary buildings have a special value due to their interesting cultural history and works of art dating from various eras. The earliest information about Vääna manor dates back to 1325. Until 1919, it used to belong to von Stackelbergs who constructed one of the most peculiar late Baroque manor buildings here.

From 1920 until today, the manor has housed a kindergarten and a primary school; during the last two decades, restoration work has been performed in the building. Interesting to know: in the 19th century, artificial ruins, which still stand here, were constructed in the park in order to create a romantic atmosphere.

SUURUPI LIGHTHOUSES 
The upper Suurupi lighthouse is open from May 2017! The cylinder-shaped lighthouse made from limestone was built in 1760 to make it possible for ships to find shelter from storms between Naissaar Island and Suurupi.

The lighthouse is surrounded by a walled campus from the 1890s. The lighthouses and campuses are under state protection as cultural monuments and together, they show the way to the ports in Tallinn.

The bottom Suurupi lighthouse is currently closed for visitors and can only be observed from the outside. The gable-roofed tetrahedral wooden lighthouse, shaped like the frustum of a pyramid, was completed in 1859. The lighthouse is included in the UNESCO World Heritage list.

ARVO PART CENTER
The world famous Estonian composer Arvo Pärt Centre was founded in 2010, at the initiative of Arvo Pärt and his family, with the aim to create opportunities for preserving and studying the composer’s creative heritage in his home country and native environment.

The centre is located in Laulasmaa, 35 kilometres from the capital, on the scenic peninsula, near the sea, on the edge of a pine forest. The centre house is named Aliina – a name that stands as a symbol of Pärt’s music, and in the context means new beginnings. Piano piece “For Aliina” marked the start of the unique tintinnabuli style in music.

THE HISTORY
Tallinn in the 13th century was a thriving Hanseatic trading centre where merchants and nobles from all across Europe came to do business. This fortified medieval city was one of the most famous ports in the eastern world, home for goods brought from ships that sailed from as far away as Africa, and by horse and carriage from both east and west.

Tallinn was and still is a trading city, and many of the old medieval buildings are a continuing tribute to that legacy. The present site of Schlössle Hotel is on the very same narrow cobblestone street where numerous storage buildings and merchants houses were located. Called, the Holy Spirit, this was a principal road leading from the central market to the harbour.

Thousands passed this way, among them Tallinn’s finest, and today a visitor cannot help be awe-struck when he realises that he is walking where for over 500 years merchants traded and lived.

The corner of Pühavaimu and Vene Street – previously Monk’s Street – was first mentioned in writing in 1363 and the building which currently houses the City Museum was then a merchant’s home.

Large stone storage buildings already stood at the site of the current “Schlössle Hotel” at the time and the first known owner of these warehouses was a Tallinn alderman, “Consul” in Latin, who lavishly adorned his home in gold coloured stone and coffer vaulted stairways.

In 1464 bürgermeister Marquart Bretholt purchased this “stenhus” and soon after, in 1470, the same “dominus et consul” Bretholt became the owner of the buildings on the corner of Vene (then Munga) Street.

There was only one entrance to the inner courtyard, through the gate building housing storage rooms and living chambers. This construction, where Consul Bretholt walked each day from Tallinn’s Town Hall remains preserved to this day in the monumental rounded-arch gothic portal leading to the courtyard.

Over the centuries, the group of buildings on Holy Spirit Street have seen numerous owners, among them members of Tallinn’s most distinguished patrician families. Prestigious and noble names such as Viant, van Husen, Blanckenhagen, Hetling, Intelmann and Schlovin all appear in many of the town’s records as having lived nearby.

But it was during Tallinn’s siege by Russian forces in 1710 that the black plague spread, and the storehouses and wonderful homes alongside this street were left abandoned and in ruins for many years.

In 1739 famous merchant Wilhelm Brinck purchased the twin storehouses. The right storehouse was restored in the year 1758 and the buildings saw extensive changes throughout their reconstruction. Triangular gothic gables were demolished and the cellars and ground floors were newly vaulted.

All the inserted ceilings were replaced, and the stone-framed cargo windows on the façade were replace with baroque windows. Originally all the doorways, windows and ventilation openings were framed in stone – but today only a few remain. In spite of all the changes, the sturdy medieval base-walls still stand and the building at Pühavaimu 13 can be considered as so-called “baroque-gothic”.

As the importance of residential space increased, richly decorated tiled stoves painted in blue were introduced as sources of heat. Painted acanthus leaves on the ceilings are a testament to these rooms also having been later converted from storage spaces to opulent living quarters.

“Schlössle Hotel” has painstakingly preserved all the valuable old structural details and exposed them in their original splendour. Almost as if untouched by the passing centuries, the central chimney, portals of cut stone, small spiral staircases, and living chambers with irregular corners and wall niches, all this belongs to classic limestone architecture from medieval times and can be experienced as they once were.

We believe that Marquart Bretholt and the many that followed him would be happy to know that their guests feel comfortable and safe within these noble walls.

SIGHTSEEING IN TALLINN
Tallinn is most famous for its historic centre – Old Town – an exceptionally complete and well-preserved medieval northern European trading city dating back to the 13th century and a Unesco World Heritage Site since 1997. The picturesque center of the city is filled with cafes, restaurants, museums and history.

Other areas of Tallinn are equally enchanting – visit Kadriorg district to see what Tallinn was like when ruled by the Russian czars, get a glimpse of Soviet-era life at Lasnamäe or enjoy the great outdoors at Nõmme and Pirita.

SUMMER
The summer skies are blue with daytime temperatures hovering around 19 to 21 °C, reaching even 28° C and nighttime temperatures averaging between 9.6 to 12.7 °C from June to August. The warmest and also wettest month of the year is usually July, with an average of 17.2 °C and 70 mm of rainfall.

Although the nights are cooler, there can be up to 19 hours of daylight, locally knows as the “white nights”. The weather in Estonia is largely dictated by its closeness to the Baltic sea.

Pirita beach, about 10 km from city centre, is very popular among locals and the sea water is warm enough to swim in from June to September, with water temperatures ranging from 19-24 degrees Celcius.

Light rain can fall in spring and autumn and temperatures range form 5-15 degrees, so bring an umbrella and warm waterproof jacket.

WINTER
Tallinn transforms into magical winter wonderland when the rain turns to snow as temperatures drops below zero in November. This makes for ideal skiing weather, great for sledging and building snowmen too! – all of which you have plenty of opportunities to try – so wrap up warm.

Medieval old town Tallinn is picture postcard perfect when the buildings are topped with snow, especially when visiting in Decemeber when Tallinn Chistmas Market takes over the Town Hall Square.

If you are looking for adventure it’s good to know that some winters allow the ice roads to be opened between mainland and the islands – the chance to drive over the frozen sea is well worth the 1,5h drive from Tallinn.

Although summer months are clearly tourists favourites for visiting, don’t let Tallinn’s weather distract you – there is fun to be had and sights to enjoy on every season! With less competition for hotelbeds among ohter perks, the rest of the year offers unique opportunities to discover the real beat of the city!
