Keila-Joa Manor, Neo-Gothic manor in Keila-Joa, Estonia

The two-story manor stands by the Keila River, featuring stone walls, pointed arches, and decorative turrets from its 1833 construction.

The manor belonged to Count Alexander von Benckendorff, who commissioned architect Andreas Stackenschneider from St Petersburg to design the building in 1831.

The manor received numerous guests from the Russian imperial family and hosted performances by soprano Henriette Sontag and composer Alexei Lvov.

The Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintains ownership of the manor, which requires advance arrangements for visits and photography sessions.

The manor incorporates a small hydroelectric power plant with 365 kW capacity, using the water flow from the nearby Keila Falls.
