Mõdriku Mödders
Mõdriku was first recorded in 1470, when it belonged to the Brackel family, and a small vassal castle may have stood at its heart. The oldest parts of the house, the round tower and the section next to it, may rest on medieval walls. The east wing took its Baroque form in the 1780s and the west wing was added later; the two wings connect only on the upper floor. The Kaulbars family raised a memorial column to the war of 1812 in the park.
