Kernu is a village in Saue Parish, Harju County in northern Estonia.[1] It is located in the southwestern part of Harju County and is a neighbour to Saue, Keila, Vasalemma and Nissi Parish in Harju County and Kohila, Rapla and Märjamaa parish in Rapla County.
Before the administrative reform in 2017, the village was in Kernu Parish.
Kernu estate was established in 1637. The current building owes its stately neoclassical appearance to a thorough renovation executed between 1810 and 1813, possibly based on designs by the renowned Helsinki architect Carl Ludvig Engel. The front façade is dominated by a richly decorated portico, while the side facing the park displays a four-column half rotunda, unique in Estonian architecture.[2] [3]
