In the centre of beautiful landscape of Valgamaa Taagepera castle stands on the hill like an ambassador from the dim old times. The house could originate from the troll stories – relation with the Nordic countries, especially with the Finnish national romantic architecture is obvious. The Art Nouveau style castle was ordered by Hugo von Stryk and this was completed in the years 1907-1912 according to the plan of the architect Otto Wildau from Riga. The central rooms of the castle – the arched stair hall, hunting hall – are located in the lower floor. The rooms have been planned according to the English safe hunting castle: huge fireplace, numerous dark wooden panels, leather sofas, cabinets. The unique view to the surrounding landscape and to the numerous outhouses is opening up from the tower of the castle. The park is surrounded by the wall of quarry stone which has two stylish arches.
