Kernu Manor
Kernu estate was established in 1637. The current building owes its stately neoclassical appearance to a thorough renovation executed between 1810 and 1813, possibly based on designs by the renowned Helsinki architect Carl Ludvig Engel. The front façade is dominated by a richly decorated portico, while the side facing the park displays a four-column half rotunda, unique in Estonian architecture.[2][3]
