A manor in the Varstu area, founded in 1793. The wooden main house with its attic story was most likely built in the early 19th century and altered in the 20th. The estate is linked with the von Budberg, von Oettingen and von Samson-Himmelstjerna families.
It is named for the small high knoll it stands on: Kõrgepalu, like German Hohenheide, means “high heath”.
The main house and key outbuildings stood on the knoll, with farm buildings below.
The manor lies in today’s Varstu area.
