Sargvere Sarkfer
Sargvere became a manor in its own right in 1772, when it was split off from neighboring Koigi. It changed hands many times and before the 1919 expropriation belonged to Emmeline von Stackelberg. The two-story Baroque house was built in the second half of the 1700s and is one of the finest and most refined Baroque manor houses in Estonia. Many interiors survive, including Rococo stucco ceilings in several of the state rooms.
