Suure-Lähtru (German:Groß-Lechtigall) is a village inLääne-Nigula Parish,Lääne County, in westernEstonia.[1]
The history of the estate goes back to the end of the 16th century. During the centuries, it has belonged to several different aristocratic families. During much of the 20th century, the manor was used as a school house. The current building was completed in 1778, and was designed byJohann Andreas Jaenichen, while most of the stucco work was done byJohann Caspar Mohr, who was province architect of Estonia and who also designed theStenbock House (the current seat of the Government of Estonia) in Tallinn. A finerococo stair is still preserved in the house.[2]
