2010 - The Suuremõisa, originally Pühhalep (Pühalepa), Manor on Hiiumaa Island was established in about the 15th century as an economic unit of the Livonian Order. After passing into the ownership of the King of Sweden, it belonged to different noblemen’s families and then to the Russian Imperial Crown, until Countess Ebba Margaretha von Stenbock bought it in 1755 and had the present two-storied baroque mansion with a high basement and a mansard built (the main building with mansard roof was completed in 1750 and the wings and a outhouses in 1772). In 18796 the manor passed into the ownership of the Ungern-Sternbergs, from whom the property was alienated under the Republic of Estonia Land Reform Act in 1919. Suuremõisa is regarded as the most stylish manor ensemble in Estonia. The manor had numerous outhouses (some of them destroyed) and a large park at the back of the house. The manor hall of 64 rooms has stucco decorations, ceiling pieces, an arching main staircase in two flights, a baroque door with beautiful carvings and other carved details in various parts of the building. The main building today serves as a basic school and a secondary specialised school.

2009 - Saku Hall is the most outstanding architectural monument in the small town of Saku on the middle reaches of the Vääna River close to Tallinn, one of the most beautiful examples of Classical architecture in Estonia. The first reports of the manor go back to 1489 when the manor seat was situated a few kilometres to the south from the present location. It moved to where it stands today in the 17th century. It had a number of earlier owners but in 1765 Otto Magnus von Rehbinder bought the estate. His grandson Paul Eduard started to build up the mansion in a grand style. The manor hall has a portico with rich decor supporting on four beautiful columns and large “Venetian” windows. The architect has remained unidentified (the famous Carlo Rossi of St. Petersburg has been suggested as one of the possible authors). Stucco décor and stencilled paintings enhance the interior. In the 20th century the manor hall housed a domestic economy school and then a specialised secondary school. It has also served as the seat of the local government. Today Saku Hall functions as a holiday and seminar centre.

2008 - Kalvi Hall stands on the high North Estonian limestone coast with wonderful views of the sea opening from its windows. Since its first mention in 1485 the manor has belonged to numerous different owners. The old mansion, built on the foundations of the earlier vassal castle in 1770, was badly damaged in a fire in 1910 and the then owner, Nikolai von Stackelberg, had a new manor hall built slightly north of the earlier location. The exterior finish of the massive Tudor style building, designed by the St. Petersburg architect W. Karpowicz, is in granite ashlars on the outside, with solid corner towers and narrow windows. It was a state-of-the-art building at the time of its completion in 1913 – it had its own electric power plant and a garage. The magnificent entrance hall rises though two floors. Since 1948 the earlier manor hall has served as sanatorium and holiday camp. At present it is operated as a luxury hotel.

2007 - The first information about Sagadi, a former manor in the Eastern part of the present Lahemaa National Park, dates back to the 15th century. Having earlier belonged to different owners, it passed to the Swedish adjutant general Gideon von Fock in 1684 and remained in the hands of the family until 1919. In around 1750 the earlier wooden house was replaced by a a one-storied mansion with a rococo façade. At the end of the century Gideon Ernst von Fock had it redecorated in early Classical style and added long side wings to the structure. A Neo-Renaissance balcony was completed at the back of the building in 1894. The large green in front of the house is symmetrically lined with outbuildings (storehouses, stables, servants’ quarters etc), as well as a park and an orchard. In 1929-1974 the mansion was used as school and later a forestry training centre. At present the mansion serves as the Sagadi Forest Centre, with a hotel, restaurant and forest museum in the outbuildings.

2006 - Taagepera Hall is situated close to the Latvian border, 18 kilometres to the West of the small town of Tõrva. Since its first mention in 16th century records the estate has belonged to several noblemen\'s families, its last owner before expropriation in 1919 being Hugo F B von Styck, who had the present manor hall built after drawings by Otto Wildau in 1907–12. The structure represents the national romantic version of Art Nouveau, partly relying on Finnish examples. Due to its asymmetrical ground plan and its 40-meter tower at the left wing, the hall looks somewhat like a medieval caste. The finish is granite ashlars and plaster, the original slate roof having later been replaced with tin. Most of the outhouses date from the 18th and the 19th centuries. A block of wards opposite the hall was built in 1938-42, when the former manor hall housed a lung diseases and psychiatric hospital; today it functions as a hotel and conference centre.

2005 - The Kiltsi manor complex in Estonia’s Lääne-Viru (West-Viru) County stands out for its building history among other manor halls in the country. The stately early Classical manor hall was erected on the ruins of a 14th–15th century vassal castle in 1784–90. References to the earlier castle survive in the ground plan as well as in the quadrangular and round bastions at the corners of the building. A crescent-shaped arcade connects the main building with the servants’ house and the storehouse, the front yard being situated between them. A watermill with a Gothic Revival façade, one of the oldest in Estonia, stands at the edge of the park. The manor has belonged to several families, the Krusensterns being the most prominent among them – Adm. Adam Johann von Krusenstern, leader of the first Russian expedition to circumnavigate the globe, wrote his most important works in Kiltsi and died there in 1846. Since 1920 the manor hall has been occupied by a school, currently the Kiltsi Basic School.

2004 - Vasalemma, a village 11 km southeast of Keila and 35 km of Tallinn, was first mentioned in records in 1241. For several centuries the territory belonged to the Padise Cisterician Monastery and became an independent manor only in 1825. In 1886 the manor passed to the Baggehufwudts of Norwegian-Swedish descent. The present manor hall was completed in 1890–93. Its Gothic Revival design is by one of the most productive civil engineers of the period, K Wilcken, the material used being local dolomite, popularily called the Vasalemma marble.

2003 - The Alatskivi estate, the first mention of which goes back to 1601, lies in a site of varied relief 4 kilometres from Lake Peipsi. The holding had several owners until it passed to the Nolckens in 1870. The present main building was built in 1876-85 to drawings by Arved von Nolcken, and its Gothic Revival façade follows the example of the Balmoral Castle in Scotland. Its articulated ground plan, restless outlines, tall gables, corner towers and dormer windows make it one of the most outstanding examples of Historicist architecture in the Baltic countries. The interior features examples of the Tudor style as well as Neo-Rococo elements. Originally the rooms were lavishly decorated with numerous paintings, carpets and mirrors. Before World War Two the manor hall housed a border guard post and until 1985 a collective farm centre. At present the museum of the brothers (writers) Liiv manages Alatskivi Hall. The First Day cover features the Nolckens\' coat-of-arms.

2001 - Laupa Hall in the central Järva County stands on the bank of the upper River Pärnu southwest of Türi and was first mentioned in records in the 17th century. The present manor hall was built in about 1910 by the then owners, the von Taubes, instead of an earlier mansion, which had been burnt down by bands of revolting workers and peasants in 1905. One of the most outstanding examples of the retrospective trend of Art Nouveau in Estonia, it is slightly reminiscent of early 18th-century baroque and its décor had no parallels among other Estonian country houses of the period. Nationalized under the Estonian land reform of 1919, it has been a school since 1922.

2000 - Palmse in North Estonia\'s Lahemaa National Park is one of the most beautiful manorial complexes in the country. Building of the complex started in 1677 and continued until the early 20th century. Featured in the stamp is the two-storied baroque manor hall, which is surrounded by a garden and large wooded park and enhanced by artificial lakes. At present the manor hall functions as a museum.

1999 - The Olustvere manor, first laid out at the present place in the early 17th century, belonged to the counts Fersen from the 18th century to 1920, when the estate was nationalised by the young Republic of Estonia. The present buildings date from the late 19th and the early 20th centuries. The manor hall, a fine building in a historical style with Renaissance features, draws on the English country house, particularly in the decoration of its spacious ash-panelled hall. The main stairs and the balconies are among the grandest in Estonia. The successful agricultural practices of the manor were continued by its successor, the Estonian Alexander Agricultural School set up on its basis in 1920. An agricultural college occupies the buildings also today. The manor hall is used for festive occasions and ceremonies; it houses a tourist information desk and a museum.
