Maidla manor, Baroque manor in Haljala parish, Estonia
Maidla is a Baroque manor in Haljala parish featuring grand stone buildings with traditional architectural details and ornate decorations. The estate includes multiple structures arranged across extensive grounds with formal gardens.
The manor was first documented in 1465, but its current appearance dates to 1767 when Georg Ludwig von Wrangell oversaw a major reconstruction. This transformation defined the estate's structure for centuries to come.
The manor has functioned as a school since 1925 and remains active in this educational role today. This purpose has shaped how the building is maintained and used by the surrounding community.
The manor can be visited during summer months through the Forgotten Manors Days program, or guided tours can be arranged throughout the year for groups. Checking opening details beforehand helps plan your visit smoothly.
The materials used in the 1767 reconstruction came entirely from neighboring estates in the region. Lime came from Samma manor while roof tiles were sourced from Purtse and Kalvi manors.
