Narva Castle, or Hermann's Castle, was founded in 1256 by the Danes as a wooden fortification. At the beginning of the 14th century, the castle was rebuilt from stone, the first mention of the stone fortress dates back to 1329. In 1346, the castle was sold to the Livonian Order, which significantly expanded it and built the 51-meter Tall Hermann tower. Over the centuries, Narva Castle came under the rule of the Swedes, then Russia, and in the 20th century it suffered destruction in the Second World War. After 1947, restoration began, with major work taking place in the 1950s and 1980s. In 2020, a major reconstruction of the east wing, where the museum and exhibitions are now located, was completed. Today, the castle is open to visitors, open from 10:00 to 18:00, entrance is paid. In one of the episodes ("Brotherhood in Arms") of the sixth season of "Killing Force", filming took place in Narva, including at the castle. The main character, Plakhov— arrives there in connection with a murder investigation related to this city. Porechenkov's hero is traveling with him, with whom Khabensky had already served at the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater by that time. The famous Estonian actor Kirill Kyaro played a small role.

The exposition caused an unpleasant feeling — some of the materials were presented, in my opinion, with a dubious message. I do not share the views expressed by the museum, so I do not recommend visiting.

Medieval castle, small. Nothing compared to Ivangorod!! That's where the greatness and power are!💪😁 You especially realize this when you stand in the middle between them. But the castle is well worth a visit, inside there is a museum, quite interesting, but a little empty. You can climb the tower, from where you can enjoy a beautiful view of Narva and Ivangorod!
