Arkna manor

Arkna Manor is an estate in Rakvere Parish featuring a main building with Historicist design and multiple outbuildings positioned across landscaped grounds. The property sits near the Selja River and is enclosed by its original boundary wall.

The estate was founded in 1527 and received its current main building in 1879 built in the Historicist style. This renovation reflects how rural properties were updated during the 19th century.

The manor reflects the lifestyle of Baltic German landowners through its layout of main building and service structures arranged around the grounds. You can see how such estates functioned as centers of rural life in that era.

The grounds are open for exploration and offer enough space to walk around the buildings and park areas by the river. Visit during fair weather to best see the outdoor features and landscaped spaces.

The Selja River is woven into the garden design, creating a special connection between the main building and the surrounding nature. This integration of water into the park layout sets it apart from many other estates of that period.
