Kirna
Kirna was founded in the 1620s, when Gustav II Adolf gave five Järva villages to Hans von Fersen, head of the Estonian knighthood. The two-story Early Classicist house rose in the 1760s–1780s and was rebuilt in High Classicism in the 1800s. The estate belonged to the von Fersens, the von Osten-Sackens and, from 1816 to 1919, the Pilar von Pilchaus.
