Haapsalu Castle is one of the best preserved castles in Estonia. Built in the 13th century, it was the seat of local authorities until the end of the 17th century. Since then the main castle has been a ruin, which nowadays invites visitors to view the castle structure and the town of Haapsalu from high above. The newly built entrance pavilion provides an exciting synergy between historical and modern construction. Due to the durability and recyclability of titanium zinc, RHEINZINK was chosen as material. The pavilion was cladded with the RHEINZINK angled standing seam system in the new GRANUM basalte surface. Thanks to its aesthetically even and matt surface, the surface conveysa very natural impression and harmonizes perfectly with the natural stones of the ruins.
