Kernu Manor

Harjumaa, Estonia

Kernu estate was established in 1637. The current building owes its stately neoclassical appearance to a thorough renovation executed 1810-1813, possibly by the designs of renowned Helsinki architect Carl Ludvig Engel. The front façade is dominated by a richly decorated portico, while the side facing the park displays a 4-column half rotunda, unique in Estonian architecture. A care home has been operating in the building since the 1920s.

Great place. But very dated aesthetics and room. Do not expect to be blown over, it’s a manor. The sauna though in the basement was good but options are very limited. All in all good experience

this place is old, and was there for a wedding, it is very big place, has its own lake/beach/spa, the rooms were very nice, and beds were great to sleep in.

Lovely place with excellent food and great atmosphere. Spa is small but has everything you need. Friendly staff.

Luxurious and authentic experience in the beautiful manor, perfect for romantic getaways. Topnotch culinary experience and service in the Ludvig restaurant. We absolutely loved it!

Just wonderful place. Nonetheless there was few people and harsh winter weather, personal managed to make this stay dreamlike. Rooms were warm, spa was super comfy and food incredibly delicious. Splendid nature around. Just lovely.

Linderhof Palace

Linderhof is the smallest of the three palaces built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria and the only one which he lived to see completed.

Ludwig II, who was crowned king in 1864, began his building activities in 1867-1868 by redesigning his rooms in the Munich Residenz and laying the foundation stone of Neuschwanstein Castle. In 1868 he was already making his first plans for Linderhof. However, neither the palace modelled on Versailles that was to be sited on the floor of the valley nor the large Byzantine palace envisaged by Ludwig II were ever built.

Instead, the new building developed around the forester's house belonging to his father Maximilian II, which was located in the open space in front of the present palace and was used by the king when crown prince on hunting expeditions with his father.
