Kuusiku manor

Kuusiku Manor is a wooden building with Baroque features located in Rapla Municipality, Estonia. The main structure is surrounded by several service buildings dating from the late 18th century that form a traditional estate layout.

First mentioned in records from 1467, the manor passed through the hands of several Baltic German noble families including von Wrangell and von Lilienfeld. The wooden structures seen today, particularly the outbuildings, were constructed during a modernization period in the late 18th century.

The manor exemplifies Estonian architectural traditions through its wooden construction methods and spatial organization typical of Baltic German estate designs.

The manor sits within Rapla Municipality boundaries and remains accessible to visitors, though the main building currently serves as a nursery school. Plan your visit keeping in mind that it functions as an active institution with limited viewing opportunities.

The property preserves its original agricultural outbuildings that demonstrate how historical estates managed their operations. These working structures are less commonly preserved than the manor houses themselves, offering insight into the daily workings of past Estonian properties.
