Hohenhaupt Castle was built by Nikolai von Glehn (1841–1923) in 1886 on the beautiful slope of a hill. Although only ruins remained of the castle after the first half of the 20th century, it was rebuilt in 1966–1977 on the initiative of the Academic Male Choir of Tallinn Technical University. Visitors can see the proud castle from the outside. A sculpture park was created around the building and an observation tower was built (today Tallinn Observatory).
Institutions, companies and private individuals can rent rooms for events: weddings, birthday parties, concerts and conferences. The entire castle can be rented, as well as individual floors or basement rooms.

Also called Schloss Glehn after its builder. The palm house opposite is unusual, but there are no palm trees here.
Nearby is the statue of the "devil", which actually represents the national hero Kalevipoeg and the crocodile, which is actually a dragon. There is also a tower with an observatory.
