The building represents the oldest construction period of Estonian manor house architecture. Today the castle houses exhibition rooms and event halls.

The St. John's Church in the main town of Lüganuse dates from the 14th century. The Lüganuse parish has been linked by a partnership with the Evangelical Lutheran parishes of Schwesing and Viöl in Schleswig-Holstein since 1994 .
