Raikküla’s owners included the Swedish field marshal Otto Wilhelm von Fersen, a Duke of Holstein-Gottorp, the von Staals and the Russian finance minister Count Georg Cancrin. The Staals’ Late Baroque house gained a portico of six Ionic columns in 1819–1820. The estate later belonged to the geologist Alexander von Keyserling, whom Otto von Bismarck visited several times, and the philosopher Hermann von Keyserling also lived here.
