On a slightly cold Thursday, our group of Erasmus+ teachers set off from Tallinn in a minibus, heading west to explore the charming coastal town of Haapsalu. Our first stop was the Rannarootsi Museum, where we learned about the fascinating history and culture of the coastal Swedes who once lived in the region — a unique part of Estonia’s multicultural heritage.


Next, we visited the beautiful medieval Haapsalu Castle, wandering through its ancient halls and towers while hearing stories of bishops, battles, and even the mysterious White Lady. After a day full of discoveries, we wrapped up the visit with a cozy dinner at the historic Dietrich restaurant, known for its warm atmosphere and delicious food, before heading back to Tallinn with full hearts and plenty of inspiration to share.

As a result of the visit, participants gained a deeper understanding of Estonia’s diverse cultural history and reflected on how local heritage can be incorporated into classroom practices. The experience also sparked new ideas for future Erasmus+ collaborations around cultural education and heritage.
