Villa Engelhardt in Viljandi

Villa Engelhardt is an extremely representative example of early 20th century villa architecture in Viljandi. From the street side, the building looks urban and businesslike, and from the courtyard side a picturesque lake landscape opens up.<br /> The architect of this villa, built as a home for the mayor of the city, Otto von Engelhardt, was his brother Rudolf-Moritz von Engelhardt. The building, whose construction was completed after 1906, has retained its original Heimat appearance to this day. The façade is enlivened by imitation half-timbering.<br /> After the Engelhardts moved to Germany, the building had many owners. One of the last was Doctor of Medical Sciences Mats Nyges.
