PLACE NAMES




Vihula


Vihula is a village in Haljala Parish, Laane-Viru County, in northern Estonia, within Lahemaa National Park.

The earliest references to an estate go back to 1501. During much of its history, it has belonged to Baltic German aristocratic families. During the Soviet occupation of Estonia, the manor housed a collective farm. The present main building, designed by Friedrich Modi, dates from after 1892, when the earlier house was destroyed in a fire. It is an irregular building with neo-Renaissance details. Several of the older outbuildings, such as a palm house and a "coffee house", also survive and together contribute to the present ensemble.
