Haapsalu is a resort town on the west coast of Estonia. Part of Lääne County, it has a population of 12,000 people (2011 estimate).

Haapsalu has a history going back to 1279. It was part of the bishipric of Ösel-Wiek and has the largest single-nave cathedral among the Baltic states. Its location by the sea has made it a popular summer resort, particularly for the wealthy and the aristocrats from Saint Petersburg.

Haapsalu is popular for its mud therapy, which is said to provide relief to a number of ailments. Today the town has a number of mud spas catering to a steady stream of patrons.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
