Kõue Manor

Kõue Manor is a manor house in Kose parish, northern Estonia, featuring thick stone walls that reveal multiple building phases and renovations spanning several centuries. The main structure shows clear signs of expansions and modifications from different eras, creating a layered architectural appearance.

The manor was originally established in the 13th century and still contains medieval stone walls from that remote period. In the 1800s, explorer Otto von Kotzebue purchased the property and resided there during his final years.

The estate functions as a cultural center where art exhibitions and events showcase the heritage of Estonian noble families. Visitors can experience how the Baltic aristocracy once lived and conducted their daily affairs.

Overnight stays are available in renovated rooms, and a restaurant serves Estonian cuisine using ingredients from local suppliers. The dining space and guest rooms are distributed throughout the historic building.

The oldest stone walls date to 1241 and rank among the longest continuously standing structures in northern Estonia. These medieval elements have been preserved through centuries and remain strikingly visible today.
