Haapsalu Castle in Estonia by KAOS Architects

Sunday, September 1st, 2019

Article source: KAOS Architects

The long and colourful history of Haapsalu Castle began in the 13th century, when it was built. Since the 17th century the main castle has been in ruins.

Our conservation and renovation design has resulted in a journey along the walls and within the castle, inviting the guests to take a look at the castle structure and the picturesque town of Haapsalu from an unusual vantage point high above, and to experience the medieval environment from another level. The gardens on the roof terraces, the path floating along the walls and the elegant pavilion bring in freshness and provide an exciting synergy between the new and the old. The exhibition rooms inside the ruins are dark and massive. The new modern additions respect the past and assist present-day people in conceptualising it.
