Mäetaguse Manor, Renaissance manor complex in Wierland County, Estonia
Mäetaguse Manor is a complex of 14 buildings spread across substantial grounds forming a complete estate. The main house was built in 1796 and is surrounded by various service buildings such as stables, storage structures, and work buildings that show how a large rural enterprise once operated.
The manor was first documented in 1542 and for around 200 years belonged to several German noble families including the Tiesenhausens, Wrangels, and Rosens. These families maintained and shaped the property through their control and management of the estate.
The manor served for centuries as the seat of German Baltic noble families whose lives and decisions shaped the surrounding region. Today, visitors can sense this heritage in how the buildings are organized and used.
The site is located in Alutaguse Parish and is accessible by car with parking available on the grounds. Visitors can book guided tours to learn about the estate, stay overnight in the restored buildings, or dine at the on-site restaurant.
The original purpose of individual buildings remains partially visible in their new use: the former vodka distillery now serves as a gathering space, while the old stables have become guest rooms. This transformation shows how historic structures can gain new life while retaining their distinctive character.
