Loodi Kersel

Loodi manor was founded in the mid-1500s and took its Estonian name from its owners at the time, the Clodts. From the late 1600s until 1919 it belonged to the Bocks; the last owner was Bernhard von Bock. The Baroque timber house with a mansard roof was built in the mid-1700s and extended at its right end in the second half of the 1800s. Behind the house lies a formal Baroque park descending in terraces.

The timber house, altered several times in the 1900s, is privately owned. A Baroque park descends in terraces behind it, and several outbuildings survive, including a Historicist woodshed with fretwork from the late 1800s.
