Taagepera Manor

Taagepera Manor is an Art Nouveau country house in Helme Parish in southern Estonia, with characteristic features of early 20th-century architecture. The building displays rounded corners, decorative details, and sits within park grounds that complement the estate.

The manor was built between 1907 and 1912 by architect Otto Wildau and reflects the rise of the Art Nouveau movement in the Baltic region. It was later briefly used as a sanatorium before being converted into a commercial operation.

The manor carries the name of earlier Baltic landowners and is seen by visitors as an elegant example of early modern design. Its rooms and grounds show how wealthy families lived in this region around 1910.

The property operates as a spa hotel today and can be visited by guests wishing to stay or dine at the facilities. The location is accessible for those exploring the southern Estonia region, and the grounds are navigable for visitors with reduced mobility.

In 1933, the manor appeared on Estonian anti-tuberculosis stamps, showing it served an important health purpose at that time. This historical connection to disease prevention is little known today but adds an unexpected medical significance to the site.
