Rägavere is a village in Rakvere Parish, Lääne-Viru County, in northeastern Estonia.

[1] Rägavere (German: Raggafer) estate has a history that goes back to 1540, when Mõdriku estate was split in two by the Baltic German brothers Wolmar and Dietrich Brackel.

In the 1970s the chairman of the local kolkhoz, Erich Erilt, initiated restoration works, the first such undertaking in then-occupied Estonia.

His efforts sparked a renewed interest in manor house architecture and eventually led to the restoration of many more manors in Estonia, such as Palmse, Sagadi, Pirgu and others.

The building contains fine Rococo interiors, evidently designed by Johann Schultz (who also designed parts of Toompea Castle in Tallinn) and are especially noteworthy for their fine stucco decorations, in the style of Michał Ceptowski.
