The siege of Weissenstein took place between 31 May and 30 September 1602, during the Polish–Swedish War (1600–11). Two weeks after the capture of Fellin, Grand Crown Hetman Jan Zamoyski led the Polish-Lithuanian army of 2,000 troops to besiege Weissenstein (now known as Paide in Estonia). Weissenstein, a major transportation hub in Estonia, was a site of strategic importance to both Poland and Sweden. Located among the marshes and built during the Teutonic period, the castle had strong artillery and was defended by 700 soldiers, local peasants, and townspeople. Weissenstein was a walled city with 30-meter towers at the corners and high bastions, and thus presented the attacking force with a significant barrier to success, even with siege works.

  • Oblężenie Białego Kamienia miało miejsce od 31 maja do 30 września 1602 podczas wojny polsko-szwedzkiej 1600-1611. Dwa tygodnie po zdobyciu Fellina armia koronna (2000 żołnierzy) dowodzona przez hetmana wielkiego koronnego Jana Zamoyskiego obległa Biały Kamień, który był ważnym węzłem komunikacyjnym w Estonii. Położony wśród bagien zbudowany w czasach krzyżackich zamek miał silną artylerię i załogę liczącą 700 żołnierzy, chłopów i mieszczan. Zamek posiadał 30-metrową basztę, na rogach natomiast nowoczesne bastiony. * Wieża główna zamku w Białym Kamieniu * Wały zamkowe (pl)
  • Belägringen av Weissenstein ägde rum från den 31 maj till den 30 september 1602 under det Andra polska kriget. Två veckor efter erövringen av Fellin ledde hetmanen Jan Zamoyski den polsk-litauiska armén på 2 000 man för att belägra och intaga Weissenstein (numera känt som Paide i Estland). Weissenstein, en viktig knutpunkt i Estland, var ett område av strategisk betydelse för både Polen och Sverige. Slottet ligger bland träskmarker och byggdes under den tyska ordenstiden, hade starkt artilleri och försvarades av 700 soldater, lokala bönder och stadsbor. Weissenstein var en muromgärdad stad med 30-meterstorn i hörnen och med höga bastioner. (sv)
