Come and
get acquainted with the Estonian 18—20th century vernacular architecture
and rural milieu in a beautiful forest park of 80 hectares on the coast
of the Bay of Kopli.
The twelve exhibit farmyards offer a wonderful review of the old-time
life of households of different wealth and subsistence. Just like in
a proper village, here is a church (1699), an inn, a schoolhouse, several
mills, a fire station and net sheds by the sea – altogether 72
buildings.

The Kadriorg
palace and park were founded by the Russian czar Peter I. According
to the designs of the architect Niccolo Michetti, invited from Rome,
the palace was built after the Italian villas, consisting of a main
building and of two annexes.
The well-preserved great hall is one of the best examples of Baroque
architecture not only in Estonia but also in the whole Northern Europe.
Besides Russian and Italian artists, masters from Stockholm, Riga and
Tallinn took part in its building work. The two-storied hall is decorated
with rich stucco work and ceiling paintings.
