When you walk around the castle, you will always be treated to new, wonderful views. The moat surrounds these views in an even more picturesque way.

Beautiful little beach with a beach volleyball court and a castle backdrop. A rare and beautiful sight.

A church, beautiful old wooden houses, the market, a monument, the town hall and restaurants characterize the cityscape in the old town, which is definitely worth seeing. But you can also quickly walk through it if you don't stop for a break. You can then continue walking along the castle beach and park.

Great park with a music stage and two beautiful old hotels. Several wooden bridges lead to the castle. The park also has a windmill around the castle and you can walk around the fortifications for free.

Great hotel built in Art Nouveau style right next to the Arensburg. The facade is impressively beautiful and the building offers a great contrast to the castle. A real eye-catcher when you cross the wooden bridge.

The first written mention of the castle dates back to the 1380s, some sources date the construction of the castle with an attached monastery to 1341. Since the islanders at that time offered fierce resistance to Christianization, which also resulted in violent uprisings, this castle was part of the efforts of the Teutonic Order and the bishops of Ösel-Wieck to gain control of the island. The fortress remained in the possession of the bishops until the Reformation and was one of the most important castles in the entire diocese until that time.
