The Sagadi Forest Centre at the Sagadi manorial estate on the northern coast of Estonia, is surrounded by the beautiful nature of Lahemaa National Park. The history of the estate dates back more than 500 years. Nowadays, Sagadi has become a renowned centre for environmental education, culture and tourism.
The onetime wealth of the Sagadi lords of the manor was partly founded on the forest. Furthermore, the manorial estate was renovated by the forestry organisation in the 1970s, and even now, the forestry people – more precisely the State Forest Management Centre (RMK) - administer the Sagadi manorial estate. The Forest museum, manor house museum, nature school, hotel, hostel, and restaurant all function together. What makes Sagadi manorial estate unique is the integrity of the complex – numerous outbuildings together with the estate gardens and ponds, arranged with baroque symmetry in the landscape. Sagadi manorial estate is an architectural ensemble of national importance.
The valuable heritage of the Sagadi estate is the foundation of the modern day activities of the forest centre. The visitor can learn new things about the forest and nature, enjoy the beautiful countryside, stay in a comfortable hotel and delight in delicious food in a beautiful environment.
