The complex dates back to the 17th and 18th century, when a fortress was replaced by a mansion and other buildings. The rectangular yard that is in the centre of the state is surrounded by the mansion, two granaries with columns that were built opposite one another, a stable and a wheelhouse. The stable and wheelhouse, the bell tower and the gate create the most impressive part of the buildings. Bells were rung because of religious rituals, but also to inform people at the estate about everyday issues. The silhouette of the building is reminiscent of cloisters, city halls and churches that were common in Europe in the 18th century. In 1780, the estate was taken over by the family of Karl Otto von Löwenstern, and the mansion can only be viewed from the outside. There is a hiking trail near the estate. |

The church was built during the rule of Baron Otto Hermann von Fittinghof and built between 1781 and 1788 by the architect Christoph Haberland. Built in the style of Classicism, the church has elements of the Baroque style and a set of colourful rocks in a mosaic on the façade. The organ was built in 1855 by August Martin, and the bell was evacuated to Russia during World War I. The congregation replaced it with a much older bell (1530). The altar painting, “Baptism of Christ” was pained by an unknown artist and was restored in 2000. During the mid-19th century, there were many Estonians in the congregation, so worship services were held in Estonian, too. The church was restored in 1934, and now it dominates the city with its 55.5 m high tower. |
