Aaspere Kattentack

Aaspere took its Estonian name from the von Hastfer family, who held it until the early 1700s. Late in that century the von Dellingshausens bought it and turned a modest house into a grand mansion fronted by columned porticoes. A fire gutted it in 1966, but it is still counted among the finest Classical houses in Estonia.
