Laupa Manor, 17th-century manor in Türi parish, Estonia.
Laupa Manor is a manor house in Türi parish built in Neo-Baroque style with distinctive architectural features. The white facade displays pilasters, half-columns, terraces, balustrades, stucco garlands, and shell decorations.
A wooden structure built in 1855 was destroyed by fire in 1905, leading architect Jacques Rosenbaum to design the current building completed in 1913. This reconstruction marked a fresh start for the property with updated design principles.
The decorative elements were created in August Volz's workshop in Riga, demonstrating skilled craftsmanship from that period. These ornaments on the white facade reflected the wealth and sophistication of early 20th-century Estonian landowners.
The manor now serves as a school, so visitors should arrange tours in advance by contacting the school administration. Access is limited and depends on school hours and staff availability.
The building blends Neo-Baroque elements with Art Nouveau and Rococo details in an unusual way that sets it apart from other Estonian manors. This mix of styles was a sign of refinement and artistic taste in the early 20th century.
