Narva Castle - Hermanus Castle - Narva Museum
I don't know what is now the correct name for this place.
I like most Hermanus :)

+ this looks nice place outside, the most recognized landmark of Narva
+ it's great that you are able visit it

BUT this place really puzzled me. You can see that lots of money has been spent recently to fix it, there is a fancy new elevator to nowhere etc. That's why I didn't like it. It has lost completely the authenticity.

When I arrived I asked from guides in which way I should visit the castle. I was told "as you wish" and I got a map. The given information and exhibitions around just created big mess on my head: in one room you read about local authors behind ages, then modern wooden Estonian architecture, then Narva fire deparment,.. suddenly you are in multimedia show in Russia, then room army uniforms etc. You never knew what was in the next room. I'm sure I missed something but then I was also quite many times behind locked doors.

To read about history of Hermanus castle, I had to use Google.
So if you want to learn about the history of Narva, go to internet.
If you want to get a random show of different things of Narva, maybe you like this place.
If you want a historical experience, don't come here - you just get annoyed.

Narva fortress was thoroughly renovated and has a new permanent exhibition. I hadn't been there before, but in this form it was lovely. You can climb the towers and see amazing views (360 degrees), interactive games, thrilling scares... It was time well spent. Also loved the museum restaurant, which btw has white guide recommendation.
