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.

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.

The house itself needs some love. However it‘s cozy and the quantity of guests is limited which results in a great SPA experience. Service was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, well made and came in good sized portions. All in all a great place for a short relaxing trip.

And what a great discovery it was! We were on a ride to Pärnu, when I noticed "Kernu Manor" sign and so decided to take a sidetrack. We really shouldn't suppress our urges on vacation. There was a beautiful park, quiet and full of calming vibes, juicy grass covered in happy flowers and sunlight, The lovely Manor was standing tall in front of the lake (under renovation at the moment). Inside - it was also gorgeous. Not that "old stuff" feeling, but an elegant charm of last decades. The owner and the personnel were terribly friendly. I had to check the restaurant, which surprised me with fine food and splendid serving. There's a SPA on the lower floor also. I'm definitely looking forward to visiting the place for more than just a few hours)))

Kakesbeck Castle

Kakesbeck is one of the largest medieval fortifications in Münsterland and the oldest castle in Lüdinghausen. The imposingly grown complex originated in 1120 as a motte, a small hilltop tower castle. After numerous changes of ownership, the castle was extended onto two islands, but it was not until the 14th century that it underwent significant alterations and extensions under the von Oer family. The estate experienced its heyday in the middle of the 18th century, when it covered an area of almost one square kilometre and consisted of five further outer castles in addition to the core castle, which were secured by ramparts and moats.

The well-maintained condition of the castle today is thanks to the late Wilfried Grewing, the former lord of the castle. The foundation named after him has been particularly committed to preserving the property since 2020.
