Kehtna Manor was first mentioned in 1470 as Kectel and in 1485 as Hof Kechtenal. The Early-Classicist main building was built in the 1790s. After a fire in 1905, it was rebuilt in 1906–10 and gained its current Baroque look. The manor is surrounded by a {{convert|5|ha|adj=on}} large park with a varied collection of shrubs.{{cite web|title=Kehtna alevik|url=http://www.eestigiid.ee/?CatID=98&ItemID=2693|publisher=eestigiid.ee|access-date=15 September 2012|language=et}}
