Hermann Castle
Hermann Castle (Narva Castle) is a medieval fortress on the eastern bank of the Narva River in northeastern Estonia. Originating as a 13th-century Danish stronghold, it was rebuilt in stone from the 14th century and expanded by the Livonian Order into a convent-style castle with a central courtyard and a prominent Hermann Tower.

As it stood in 1500
The shape it held in its prime.
A massive rectangular stone fortress set on the riverbank, dominated by a tall square keep (Hermann Tower) with a white upper stage and steep red-tiled gabled roof; the main body is a large, blocky curtain of light-beige/grey masonry with small slit windows and arched openings at the waterline. Earthen glacis and ramparts slope down from the walls to a quay; a small round corner tower with a conical roof punctuates one corner and a central enclosed courtyard lies within the massive wings.
