Laitse Castle

About

Laitse manor house resembles a knight’s castle which bears elements of almost all the mediaeval architectural tastes. The mansion built by Woldemar von Uexkull in 1892 is one of the best works of local Neo-Gothic style.  During the years of the Republic of Estonia the castle was reconstructed from inside and by today nothing of the initial plan has preserved. Today the castle is in private ownership and you can visit it and refresh yourself in the ground floor pub.Interesting to know: in the Soviet times the house used to be an auxiliary building of Laitse radio station and there were apartments, the “Red Corner”, a canteen and a village sauna in the house.
