Koluvere Castle, Medieval castle in Lääne-Nigula Rural Municipality, Estonia.

The stone fortress stands on an artificial island formed by damming the Liivi River, featuring robust walls and defense towers.

The castle, established in the 13th century, became a residence for bishops of Saare-Lääne in 1439 and later witnessed the Battle of Lode in 1573.

The castle grounds include formal gardens with ponds, pavilions, and a nineteenth-century bridge decorated with stone obelisks.

The castle offers guided tours through medieval halls, towers, and cellars, allowing visitors to explore centuries of Estonian architectural development.

Duchess Augusta of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel died under unexplained circumstances while in exile at this castle during Catherine the Great's reign.
