Käesalu manor, 17th-century manor in Keila Parish, Estonia
Käesalu manor is a 17th-century estate building located in northern Estonia's Keila Parish. The main structure displays Baroque architecture with a distinctive hipped roof, developed into its current form during the 1760s.
The manor was founded in the mid-17th century and functioned as an administrative hub for the surrounding lands during Estonia's feudal era. Ownership shaped how the regional economy and agricultural production developed over centuries.
The building reflects how Baltic German landowners shaped the look of rural estates across northern Estonia during their period of influence. You can observe these design choices in the architecture today.
The property is privately owned and visits require advance planning and permission from the current owners. Arriving without prior arrangement means you cannot enter, so contacting them ahead of time is essential.
The building combines 18th-century Baroque design elements with regional construction features found nowhere else in the area. This particular blend of styles makes it stand out among local estates of the same period.
