Väinjärve Weinjerwen
Väinjärve was founded in the early 1600s, and from 1633 it belonged for over two centuries to the Rosens of Roosna-Alliku. In 1850 Carl Christoph von Baranoff bought it for 85,000 rubles and had a grand main house built. The two-story Historicist house was finished in the 1860s. A tall octagonal tower rises at one corner, and at the back a terrace stair leads through the park toward Lake Väinjärv.
