Suure-Lähtru Manor
German: Groß-Lechtigall
Suure-Lähtru's house was a wedding present. Karl Gustav von Baranoff built it in 1775–1778 for his eldest son Christoph Heinrich, to a design by the architect C. J. Jänichen, with stucco ceilings by Johann Caspar Mohr and a baroque staircase whose posts are carved in rococo style. The Baranoffs had come to the estate in 1590, when Menschik Baranoff, a former Russian boyar of Crimean Tatar descent, became its lord. After 1919 the house was a school and then collective-farm property. Since 1996 it has belonged to the politician and former diplomat Mart Helme, who restored it and opened a museum of the house on the ground floor.

Eesti keeles
Suure-Lähtru peahoone oli pulmakink. Karl Gustav von Baranoff ehitas selle aastatel 1775–1778 oma vanimale pojale Christoph Heinrichile arhitekt C. J. Jänicheni kavandi järgi; stukklaed tegi Johann Caspar Mohr ja barokse trepi postid on kaunistatud rokokoolike nikerdustega. Baranoffid olid mõisa saanud 1590. aastal, kui selle isandaks sai krimmitatari päritolu endine vene bojaar Menschik Baranoff. Pärast 1919. aastat oli majas kool, seejärel kolhoos. 1996. aastast kuulub hoone poliitikule ja endisele diplomaadile Mart Helmele, kes on selle renoveerinud ja avanud alumisel korrusel maja ajalugu tutvustava muuseumi.
