Kalvi Poeddes

In the Middle Ages the von Lode family raised a trapezoid-shaped vassal castle here, and parts of it still stand. After the old house burned in the early 1900s, Nikolai von Stackelberg built a new residence on the limestone cliff. Finished around 1913 with granite mosaic walls and towers, it was one of the last great manor castles built in Estonia.
