While walking around the medieval fortress of Kuressaare, pay attention to the steep stairs and in some places low doorways and high thresholds!

Due to the architectural features of the castle, the help of an attendant may still be necessary.

Due to the architectural features of the building, it is not possible to move around the castle with a baby carriage. The stroller can be left in the courtyard of the castle.
