Although the majority of the current manor buildings at Vihula were built between 1820-1840, the estate itself has an over 800-year history, starting after the time of the Danish crusades against the local pagans. Restorations at Vihula were completed in 2012, making this manor complex one of the most picturesque in all of Estonia. Some of the amenities include, a full spa with a wide range of relaxing and energising treatments, unique gift items, a delightful holiday village, alongside various seasonal activities throughout the grounds. This all adds up to loads of fun for the whole family - or perhaps a romantic getaway just for two. An up-scale restaurant in the main building offers up delicious and creative dishes, which emphasise local ingredients wherever possible, and a comprehensive wine list that caters to pretty much every taste.
