Members' reviews on RAKVERE CASTLE
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
The Alchemy Hall/room of science houses some interesting artifacts. Every few hours, fascinating excursions take place, such as visits to the torture chamber or the room of science, where you hear wonderful stories about the life, death, and beliefs of medieval European cities' populations. In the middle of the castle, a nice farmyard with sheep, goats, rabbits, geese, and even a wonderful donkey has been established.
Nearby, there are informative tables discussing the relationship between the Brothel and expression of Love in the medieval population.-) Additionally, there's a very nice and atmospheric eating place where, for 3 euros, you can enjoy a warm and delightful glass of mulled wine.
