Kingdom of Sweden Days at Narva Castle
19.07.2025 12:00 - 20.07.2025 18:00
Event overview
The “golden” Swedish era still fires the imagination of historians and researchers—a time when Narva was a bustling trading hub coveted by Europe’s great powers. It was then that the city acquired the distinctive look and unique atmosphere that endured virtually unchanged until the Second World War.
Välkommen! Bring your friends and family to Narva Castle and step into the Swedish chapter of the city’s history.
