Keila-Joa manor house, Gothic Revival manor house in Lääne-Harju Rural Municipality, Estonia.
The manor house exhibits Gothic Revival elements with pointed arches, detailed stonework, and decorative features designed by architect Andrei Stackenschneider in 1831.
Built for Count Alexander von Benckendorff, the manor welcomed Russian royalty, soprano Henriette Sontag, and composer Alexei Lvov during the Imperial period.
The Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs operated from this location between 1927 and 1940, before the building transferred to military use.
Located near the third largest waterfall in Estonia, visitors can access the site through suspension bridges and explore a 3-kilometer nature trail.
A small hydroelectric power plant with 365 kW capacity operates near the manor, combining historical architecture with modern energy production.
