Kuressaare Castle, also known as Kuressaare Episcopal Castle, is one of the best-preserved medieval fortifications in the Baltic region, located on the island of Saaremaa. Built by the Teutonic Order and bishops of Ösel-Wiek, this formidable late 14th-century late Gothic fortress is famous for the dark legend of the Walled-in Knight whose skeletal remains were unearthed inside a forgotten cellar chamber.
Lühike Jalg Gate Tower, standing at the top of the steep Short Leg staircase connecting Tallinn's upper town of Toompea with the lower merchant city, is widely regarded as Old Town's most haunted location. Famed for centuries of reported paranormal encounters, the 14th-century gate tower is haunted by a penitent executioner monk, phantom black hounds, and spectral figures that continue to startle late-night pedestrians.
Neitsitorn, also known as the Virgin Tower or Maiden Tower, is a imposing 14th-century square defense tower standing on Toompea hill overlooking the Danish King's Garden in Tallinn. Historically utilized as a medieval prison for fallen women and prostitutes, the tower now houses a museum cafe famous for persistent ghost encounters, including a spectral wine-drinking monk in the cellar and phantom footsteps along its upper battlements.
