Kalvi manor, Medieval manor estate in Kirchspiel Maholm, Estonia.
Kalvi Manor is an estate in Kirchspiel Maholm with a striking granite-faced main building that stands near the ruins of an original medieval fortress. The structure features corner towers and blends architectural elements from different construction periods into one composition.
The property was first documented in 1485 as a vassal fortress of the von Lode family and served an important function in Baltic society for centuries. A fire prompted major reconstruction in 1913, resulting in the eclectic design visible today.
The name comes from Estonian origins and reflects this site's role in local society over centuries. Today, visitors experience how the Baltic landed gentry lived through the restored interior spaces and their daily use as a working hotel.
The property functions as a working hotel and restaurant, offering accommodation and dining services to visitors following major restoration work. Guests can experience the renovated historic spaces while staying or dining at this operational estate.
The property visibly displays three distinct building periods in its structure: medieval fortress foundations, surviving fragments from a 1770s Classical building, and the 1913 eclectic main house. Walking through the site reveals how each era left its own architectural mark on the landscape.
