Härgla manor edit

Härgla manor (German: Herkül) is mentioned in written sources for the first time in 1516. The current building originally dates from the 1780s but has been extensively rebuilt. The façade is dominated by the large ionic portico. Remaining interior details are mostly late 19th century.[4]
