Description: The building of Medieval Order Castle was started in 1224 by the Order of the Sword. This stronghold became the residence of a politically and economically influential komtuur. The castle of this stronghold was largest in Old Livonia. Due to damages during different wars the stronghold now lies in ruins. These days our theatre “Ugala” gives open air performances on Kaevumägi in the ruins. Every summer a grand Folk Music Festival takes place here.
