Väätsa Waetz
Väätsa was founded in the 1620s–1630s by Magnus von Nieroth, and for about two centuries it belonged to the Baranoffs. In the 1700s a terraced French Baroque park was laid out. In 1796–1800 a new Early Classicist house rose on a high base, marked by rounded outer corners, dentil cornices and pedimented central bays on both façades.
