Kukruse manor

The classical style manor contains a two-story extension and features spacious reception halls with traditional architectural elements including a prominent fireplace in the Ball Hall.

First documented in 1453, the manor gained prominence through the von Toll family, with Eduard von Toll becoming a notable polar explorer who conducted expeditions to Arctic regions.

The manor functions as a museum and theater venue, producing seasonal performances and maintaining exhibition spaces that showcase Estonian architectural and noble family heritage.

The manor welcomes visitors from Wednesday to Sunday between June and August from 10:00 to 17:00, with reduced hours during September through May.

An underground passage discovered beneath the manor remains unexplained, while the surrounding area marks the location of Estonia's first oil shale mining operations.
