Manor
Kernu Manor
German: Kirna
Kernu's classicist main house, rebuilt in 1810–1813 for Baron Ungern-Sternberg, is believed to be the work of Carl Ludwig Engel, the architect who later shaped the centre of Helsinki. Four Ionic columns carry the front portico, and a half-rotunda on four round columns faces the garden. A later owner, Ernst von Kotzebue, laid out a family cemetery on an island in the dammed pond in front of the house. In 1917 the estate was bought by General Nikolai von Wrangell, cousin of the White Army leader Pyotr Wrangel. Long a care home, the manor has been a hotel with a restaurant and cellar spa since 2013.

Kernu klassitsistliku peahoone, mis ehitati paruni Ungern-Sternbergi tellimusel ümber aastatel 1810–1813, arhitektiks peetakse Carl Ludwig Engelit, kes hiljem kujundas Helsingi kesklinna. Esifassaadi portikust kannavad neli joonia sammast ja aiapoolsel küljel paikneb neljal ümarsambal poolrotund. Hilisem omanik Ernst von Kotzebue rajas härrastemaja ette paisjärve saarele perekonnakalmistu. 1917. aastal ostis mõisa kindralmajor Nikolai von Wrangell, valgete kindrali Pjotr Wrangeli onupoeg. Kaua hooldekoduna tegutsenud mõisas on 2013. aastast hotell, restoran ja keldrispaa.
