Hõreda mõis
Hõreda mõisa rajamist on esmakordselt mainitud 1627. aastal.
Alles 1812. aastal valminud klassitsistlik peahoone kuulub Eesti mõisaarhitektuuri tippude hulka – omaaegse hiilguse vaikne ja väärikas tunnistaja.
Suure kahekorruselise kivihoone keskosas asub kolmekorruseline kuppelehitis. Fassaadi külgmised tiibehitised on uhkete sammastega.
Mõisa saab vaadelda üksnes väljast ning sinna viib ainult jalgtee.
Peahoone ajahambast puretud fassaad on iga fotograafi unistus.
