Figure 1
Views of Porkuni (above) (TÜR KAF 37591) and Lihula Manorial core in 1683 (TÜR KAF 39024) drawn by Samuel Waxelberg.
Figure 2
On the left: Manorial core of Vana-Antsla in 1688 (EAA 308.2.186 Sheet 1). The position of the manor core is set by the moat and artificial lakes. On the right is a plan of Koluvere manorial core (EAA 854.4.469 Sheet 32): the position of the manorial core is set by the fortified residence and fortifications connected to it (moat, entrenchment), also by the access to the fortified residence and river that was flooded for the purpose of protection.
Figure 3
Raasiku Manor in 1690 shows a typical Estonian early baroque villa concept: A – main building with cour d’honneur; B – gardens; C – paddock for horses with its location directly near the ensemble is quite typical of Estonian manor planning in the 1680–90s; D – main road with alley. The main axis is clearly highlighted with the alley which is designed in this place for aesthetic reasons (EAA 1.2.C-III-37 Sheet 1).
