History
The estate was founded by Nicholas von Glen in the northern part of his land, as a new residence. The castle was personally designed by Glen and built in 1886 [1] . The castle is surrounded by a park and several buildings: a palm house (1900-1910), an observatory (1910) and sculptures Kalevipoeg (1908) and Crocodile (1908). All of these structures were also designed by Glen himself.
After Glen emigrated to Germany in 1918, the castle was abandoned and plundered. The restoration began in the 1960s and was completed on March 24, 1977. [2] Currently, Glen Castle belongs to Tallinn University of Technology .
