Vasalemma manor
Vasalemma manor (Wassalem in German) was a knight’s manor in Harju-Madis parish in Harju County.
The main building of Vasalemma manor is one of the most outstanding examples of later Estonian neo-Gothic architecture.
In the Middle Ages, the village of Vasalemma and its surroundings belonged to the lands of Padise Monastery. During the Great Northern War, at the beginning of the 18th century, the owners of Padise, the von Ramms, built a small auxiliary manor there. A school has been operating in the manor since 1922.
Ohtu manor
The main building of the Baroque manor ensemble was completed around 1769.
In front of the manor house there is a square with an oval ring road, on the sides a barn and a stable barn. The front door of the manor house deserves attention as a masterful carpenter. It is also worth taking a look at the boulevards and the park.
