Järve Castle

The lake vassal fortress is located in the municipality of Jõhvi, Ida-Virumaa, on the Tallinn-Narva highway. The estate of the lake is first mentioned in 1497, when it belonged to the Lodè family and was named Türpsal. The stone castle was erected shortly afterwards, in 1508, when the estate of Lake belonged to the possession of the Paykülls family and was in their hands until 1808.
