About Kuressaare

Kuressaare (Finnish: Kuressaari, German: Arensburg) is a town and a municipality on Saaremaa island in Estonia. It is the capital of Saare County and the westernmost town in Estonia. The population according to the 2011. census is 13,166. This is one of the biggest "Kaali Meteorite" craterrs - 110 meter in diameter. Is is estimated fallen around 660 plus/ minus 85BC. It is believed that the impact of the object was as strong as that of Hiroshima atomic bomb. In a protective cove, under the wing of the castle, Kuressaare's beach looks hopefully out into the Baltic. This is where the locals gather on midsummer's night to dance, drink and burn great pyres. It's also a place for kids to play on slides that mysteriously disappear into the water, like Atlantis, and for gentle walks along the water's edge. Kuressaare hosts a rather plain looking, but impressively intact castle on its coast. In fact it claims to be the only wholly intact medieval castle in all the Baltics. While not something that you'd come especially to Kuressare to see, it does make a pleasant sight sitting as it does in the still, green tinged waters of its moat. On the opposite side of the castle to the beach is the town's harbour. Don't be confused by the ferry harbour down by the airport - that one is ugly and a long way away. The main object of attraction in Kuressaare is the old Teutonic castle. It was built in XIV and still is the best preserved castle in Baltic States. Impressive huge fortress stands in the middle of diamond shaped island surrounded by water and heavy stone walls. The corners od the "diamond" are shaped like spears. The views are really great both from the land and from the castle walls and towers.
