Paide Castle, Medieval castle in Paide, Estonia
The central tower of Paide Castle rises six stories high with limestone walls measuring three meters in thickness at its foundation point.
The Livonian Order initiated the construction of Paide Castle in 1265 under Konrad von Mandern to establish a strategic fortification in central Estonia.
The castle exhibits medieval Estonian military architecture through its octagonal central tower, known as Tall Hermann, which stands over 30 meters high.
Visitors can explore the castle museum, which presents exhibits about regional history across multiple floors of the restored medieval tower.
The name Weissenstein, meaning white stone in German, refers to the local limestone used to construct the castle walls and tower.
