Explore the 13th-Century Castle Ruins

The grand order castle ruins sit just a short walk from our front door. Once a powerful medieval stronghold, the ruins are now the best spot in town for panoramic views over Lake Viljandi.

Be sure to check out the open-air stage in the old central courtyard: it’s a truly special venue that hosts concerts and events throughout the year.
