Vasknarva Castle, Medieval fortress in Alutaguse Rural Municipality, Estonia.
The fortress stands at the source of the Narva River where it flows from Lake Peipus, featuring thick stone walls and defensive structures.
The Livonian Order constructed the original castle in 1349, which was later rebuilt between 1427 and 1442 following destruction by Pskov forces.
The castle site reflects the medieval military architecture of the Livonian Order, with remaining walls measuring three meters in thickness.
Visitors can access the castle ruins while exploring the nearby Russian Orthodox Church of Saint Elijah, built in 1818 on the grounds.
The fortress marks the eastern border of the European Union, with views across the Narva River to the Russian territory.
