Lääne County, Administrative county in western Estonia.
Lääne County extends across 2,383 square kilometers of western Estonia, featuring extensive coastlines along the Baltic Sea and numerous forests.
The region functioned as the independent Bishopric of Ösel-Wiek within the Livonian Confederation following the German conquest in 1227.
The county preserves Estonian traditions through regional festivals, local crafts, and traditional cuisine served in restaurants throughout Haapsalu and surrounding towns.
Regular bus services connect the county capital Haapsalu with other Estonian cities, while local transportation networks link smaller municipalities within the region.
