The majestic main building, a wonderful well-kept park and a large complex of outbuildings of the estate. "The manor of Ketna (German: Kechtel), belonging to the von Vietinghoff family, is first mentioned in 1470. The manor, which by that time belonged to many owners, belonged to the von Vietinghoff again from 1777, when the two-story main building was built in the style of early classicism. Construction was completed around 1790. In 1824 the estate was acquired by the von Benckendorffs. In 1874, the estate came into the possession of the noble family of the von Lilienfelds, who rebuilt the former building in the neo-Renaissance style. At the same time, arched windows were added to the building, and the high roof was replaced with a flat, covered balustrade. In 1905, the estate was burned by rebels. During the restoration, the flat roof of the manor house was replaced by a high mansard roof that hid the third floor. Rich stucco decoration appeared in the restored interiors, where a little modernity was added to the neoclassicism. Art Nouveau elements can also be found on the back porch, a period addition to the building. The estate, expropriated from Helmut von Lilienfeld in 1919, was first used by a home economics school and then by a state farm. The building has been privately owned since 1997 and has been extensively restored. The estate has a beautiful park, as well as a number of outbuildings. A half-kilometer beautiful alley leads from the heart of the estate to the parish center of Rapla. In the middle of the large sun in front of the main building there is a pond, most of the outbuildings are located on the other side of the pond. The Ketno parish government is located in the estate."
