Alatskivi Castle, Gothic Revival manor house in Alatskivi, Estonia.

The white castle structure rises with multiple turrets, an octahedral tower, and a slate roof against the backdrop of extensive parkland.

Baron Arved von Nolcken reconstructed the castle between 1876 and 1885, taking direct inspiration from Scotland's Balmoral Castle during his European travels.

Five rooms on the first floor house the Eduard Tubin museum, containing manuscripts, photographs, and instruments from the Estonian composer and conductor.

The castle opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM during summer months and closes two hours earlier in winter season.

The basement level features a wax museum displaying figures of household staff performing their daily tasks in the reconstructed original kitchen quarters.
