Raikküla Manor
German: Rayküll
Raikküla is tied to two remarkable Keyserlings. Alexander von Keyserling was a celebrated geologist, explorer and member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. A later member of the family, the philosopher Hermann von Keyserling, was born at Kõnnu but spent much of his life at Raikküla, and he was its last owner before 1919. He later founded his School of Wisdom in Darmstadt, Germany. The late baroque house on its high plinth, remodelled in classicist style in the early 19th century, later held a children's home and a school; its interiors were lost before new ceilings and roofs were added in the 1980s, and it has since been restored.

Raikküla on seotud Keyserlingide suguvõsa ja kahe silmapaistva mehega. Alexander von Keyserling oli kuulus geoloog ja maadeuurija ning Venemaa Teaduste Akadeemia liige. Hilisem suguvõsa liige, filosoof Hermann von Keyserling, sündis küll Kõnnu mõisas, kuid elas suure osa oma elust Raikkülas ja oli mõisa viimane omanik enne 1919. aastat. Hiljem asutas ta Saksamaal Darmstadtis Tarkuse Kooli. Kõrgel soklil seisvas hilisbarokses peahoones, mis 19. sajandi alguses klassitsistlikuks ümber ehitati, asusid hiljem lastekodu ja kool; interjöörid hävisid enne, kui 1980. aastatel ehitati uued laed ja katus, ning hiljem on maja restaureeritud.
