Suuremõisa Park

[1] The park was founded by Countess Ebba Margareta von Stenbock (1704–1775) (née De la Gardie) during the construction of Suuremõisa manor in 1755.

The park was originally planned to be in the Baroque style, and the portions closest to the castle (terraces, roads, and ponds) reflect this design.

The oldest portions of the park, to the east behind the main building, are surrounded by a 2 metres (6.6 ft) high wall topped with red roof tiles.

The park contains about fifty varieties of trees and shrubs, including Estonia's tallest European Silver Fir (Abies alba) whose height was measured to be 36 metres (118 ft) in 2000, Estonia's tallest Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis) (15 metres (49 ft)), and Estonia's tallest Japanese Larch (Larix kaempferi) (15 metres (49 ft)).

Outside the park boundaries lie several kilometers of Black Alder allees that delineate an old road towards the town of Käina.
