Olustvere Manor
Olustvere mõis
A well-preserved manor complex about 21 km north of Viljandi, with a splendid main house, handicraft workshops and a restaurant on the grounds.
Olustvere Manor is one of Estonia’s best-preserved manor complexes. The surviving neo-Renaissance main house, built in the early 20th century, retains its stone towers, carved woodwork and interior decoration in good condition. It is surrounded by a park, ponds and gazebos, along with dozens of outbuildings such as barns, a brewhouse and drying houses. The manor is now run jointly with a local vocational school. The main house is open for visits. The grounds include pottery and weaving workshops, a manor restaurant and accommodation, and the estate often hosts weddings and summer events. It is about 25 minutes’ drive from Viljandi. Admission to the main house is charged, and opening hours are listed on the official website.
