High Classicism reached Estonia in around 1800-30, when
Baroque
lushness in architecture had in many cases been totally replaced by antique elements. This period was rather short in Estonia and all its forms did not root deeply here. For example, due to the Estonian climate and amount of snow, a high roof was often kept.
The best examples of preserved High-Classicist manorial architecture in Estonia:
Saku,
Riisipere,
Kernu,
Kirna,
Kolga,
Raikküla,
Udriku,
Aaspere,
