  2. I can see why it was/is a popular resort. I checked with google street view, the castle seems also to be interesting.

    1. At Haapsalu had lived a large minority of Swedes, from the fourteenth century onwards. They fled forever in 1944, when they knew that the Soviet Red Army was coming. At Haapsalu there is still a lot of "Swedish", in the buildings, in the atmosphere, in the cuisine and in the way of life.
      According to the 1934 census there were 7,641 "Estonian Swedes", making Swedes the third largest national minority in Estonia, after Russians and Germans. Today they are no more than 300.
