Suure-Rõude Manor

Suure-Rõude in Martna parish belonged in the Middle Ages to the bishop's castle of Ösel-Wiek and became a state estate after the Great Northern War. From the mid-18th century until the 1919 expropriation it was held by the Edler von Rennenkampff family. Its main house is a rare survivor: a one-storey wooden building of the 18th century with a hipped roof and a great central mantel chimney, of the old Baltic type that still looks medieval in its proportions. This one is privately owned and still lived in.
