Coffehouse and Park

Coffeehouse
The so-called coffeehouse is a typical classicist, small, wooden park house with square corners, which probably took its current shape in the first half of the 19th century.
The building was restored in the late 1970s.

Baroque park
The park of Palmse Manor has undergone several changes over time, depending on the fashion and the preferences of the landlord.
For the first time, we get an idea of Palmse’s landscaping from a map drawn by Gustav Friedrich von der Pahlen in 1753, which shows a symmetrical baroque park redesigned around the manor house.
On a map from 1840, it has been replaced by winding roads and flower beds.

In garden and park design, a maze means a system of hedges with a complex, misleading road network.
This type of hedge began to spread in the second half of the 16th century and was used extensively in parks in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The hedge was high and there were many dead-ends in the maze.
In the dead-ends, there was a broader part where a small fountain was located.

The modern baroque park with a hedge maze was reconstructed in 2009.
