Alatskivi Castle

Fairytale Alatskivi Castle awaits visitors in South Estonia, about 40 km from Tartu.

In the castle, you travel back in time to the 19th century, get acquainted with the life of a noble family and the manor's daily routine, and meet the servants who worked here a hundred years ago, brought to life with wax figures in the basement.

Castle guides share captivating stories, and visitors can create a personal souvenir in the ceramic workshop.

Allocate at least 1.5 hours to explore the exhibition, which spans three floors.

On the castle's third floor is the museum of composer Eduard Tubin, which presents the life and works of one of Estonia's most famous musicians. The former carriage-horse stable next to the castle offers insight into the manor's management and daily operations.

Alatskivi Castle is part of the Onion Route, which can also be explored through the bright yellow National Geographic windows. Stroll in the castle park, enjoy nature on the Alatskivi hiking trail, stay in romantic castle suites, and taste local dishes at the castle restaurant.
