Drinks & Nightlife
Set on the magical seaside promenade Haapsalu Kuursaal is the only wooden specialty that has stayed in it’s original state since the end of the 19th century. Kuursaal has been one of the centre points of Haapsalu’s summer season since the end of 20th century.
Interesting facts: In 1898 almost all of the building was set on the water, later on each side of the house the little bay curves were filled and the sea-shore got the shape as it has today. Kuursaal with it’s fabulous stage stand was one of the favourite places for the Russian emperors chamber and St. Petersburg’s upper class. During the soviet times Kuursaal was used as a storehouse.
