The Kerrafer Manor ( Käravete mõis ), which was owned by the von Igelström family for a long period of time , was founded in the early 17th century. The current mansion dates from the second half of the 18th century. It was built on one floor in the classical style. In the 1820s a representative portico was added. A granite bridge and two historical garden vases from the beginning of the 20th century are also under monument protection.
During the Soviet occupation of Estonia, the manor house housed a cultural center with a library and a cinema. Today it is privately owned.
