Before expropriation in 1919, Keskvere manor belonged to the Ungern-Sternbergs. The house is an archaic Baroque timber building with a central mantel chimney. With its low walls, corner joints, square windows and tall hipped roof, it is dated to about 1750, though it may be much older and reach back to the 1600s.
The house survives in private ownership; its original thatched roof has been replaced with sheet metal.

Good to know
As late as the early 1900s there were several archaic timber manor houses like this in Lääne County, but today Keskvere is practically the only one left.
A mantel chimney stands at the center of the house.
Keskvere is recorded as a noble estate from 1592, when King Sigismund granted it to the Tatar commander Leonti Nasackin.
