history
The village was first mentioned as Jerwencato in 1460. The stately, two-story manor house was built from 1820. It belonged to the German Baltic noble family Hoyningen-Huene . From 1894 Oskar von Hoyningen-Huene lived here with Sophie Charlotte von Wimpffen and their son from their first marriage, Roman von Ungern-Sternberg .
After the Russian Revolution in 1905 , the manor was completely destroyed. Järvakandi is known for its glass factory founded in 1879. Between 2005 and 2012 the Rabarock Festival took place in Järvakandi.
Until 2017 the place also formed an independent municipality ( Järvakandi vald ).
