Architecture & History

Harju County’s architecture & history sights take you on a journey through the centuries. Medieval churches, manor estates, fortifications, and historic towns tell stories from both the coast and the inland areas. Here, a rich heritage intertwines with a modern living environment. Stroll along old tree-lined avenues, seek out remarkable buildings, and pause in places where history can be felt in stone, wood, and the local rhythm of life.
