Work-horse stables

2-suur_MG_8362

The manor stables were built in 1860. Olustvere Manor once had two stables: one for riding-horses (which after the 1960 reconstruction currently houses one of the School’s student homes) and the other one for work-horses. The building of the stables was renovated in 2009 with support from the state of Norway. The stables building also houses a handicraft sales point and a fabric weaving classroom.
