Entrance gate

to Palmse


41/42

Palmse is the best known and probably best

preserved of the manors in Lahemaa National

Park. It was the first that has been restored to itsformer splendor. The house is like a complete little

palace with everything a baroque palace requires:

the gate, the residential quarters with separateapartments for husband and wife, a festival hall,

the park behind with a landscape garden, a lake

and several small park buildings. At the same timeit is a farm and an enterprise with the necessary

economy buildings.
