During more than its 700 years existence Narva Hermann Castle belonged to Danes, Germans, Swedes, Russians and finally Estonians.
Today Narva castle hosts a museum where one can see both permanent exhibition on Narva city history as well as about a dozen of temporary expositions.
A beautiful view of Narva city and Ivangorod fortress on the Russian side can be admired from 51 metre high Tall Hermann tower. Each summer the artisan history centre Northern Yard comes to life in the castle’s northern yard.
The inhabitants of the Yard live the way 17th century town folks did.
