Glehn Castle, Manor house in Hiiu, Tallinn, Estonia.

The castle exhibits Gothic Revival architecture with intricate reliefs and inscriptions in multiple languages across its limestone walls and wooden details.

Baron Nikolai von Glehn completed this residence in 1886, but after his departure to Germany in 1918, the building suffered extensive looting.

The surrounding park contains large sculptures, including a 33-foot statue of Kalevipoeg, representing a central figure from Estonian mythology.

The castle functions as an event venue under university management, offering guided tours through its halls and access to the adjacent park trails.

A half-underground palm house with a colorful glass mosaic roof stands opposite the castle, displaying architectural elements similar to modernist designs.
