Step back in time at Raikküla Manor

Raikküla manor has created a new permanent exhibition that provides a detailed history of manor house furniture. The exhibition includes three Raikküla manor buildings and contains hundreds of original items from Estonian manor houses. The exhibition tells exciting stories about the manor and the history of furniture. Visitors can learn about the relationships between manor house people, about the change of interiors over time and discover why there were so many large mirrors in manor houses.

Raikküla Manor is one of the most beautiful examples of classicist architecture in Estonia. The first written record of Raikküla manor dates back to the year 1469 and was formerly owned by the von Staals, the Kankrins and the von Keyserling families. After a fire in 1960 the house lay in ruins for a long period before it was restored.

 
Raikküla is located in Rapla Parish, Rapla County in northwestern Estonia.
