Olustvere Manor, Historical manor in Suure-Jaani parish, Estonia.
Olustvere Manor is a two-story house from 1903 built in English architectural style with stone walls, set within a larger complex of farm buildings and structures. The grounds spread across 50 acres with tree-lined paths connecting different parts of the estate.
The estate was founded in the 16th century and passed through several owners until the von Fersen family took control for centuries. The main building was constructed in its present form in 1903.
The manor keeps traditional craft workshops active today, where you can try smithing, pottery, glassblowing, and regional baking methods yourself. These working crafts show how people in the region have always used their hands and creativity.
Visit on clear days when the outdoor grounds and pathways are easiest to explore. The craft workshops operate seasonally, so checking ahead for current hours will help you plan activities you want to try.
The park contains an ancient oak tree about 300 years old with two massive branches that split from a single trunk, creating a striking twin-crown shape. This unusual form makes it a notable landmark visitors often photograph.
