Architectural Style: Finnish Modernism and Soviet Minimalism. ???? Year of Construction: 1977 ???? Location: Tsooru, Võrumaa, Estonia ???? Historical Significance: Listed in DOCOMOMO, an international preservation list for modernist architecture. ???? Tucked away in the peaceful Estonian countryside, the old Kolkhoz administration building in Tsooru is a forgotten relic of the Soviet era. Built in 1977, it stands as a striking example of the architectural style that was all the rage at the time—an influence of Finnish modernism mixed with Soviet practicality. The design emphasizes minimalism and functionality, with clean lines and a striking blend of materials that harmonize with the surrounding landscape. Architected by Toomas Rein, the building features a fascinating duality in its design. The northern facade is restrained and functional, fitting seamlessly into the rural backdrop. In contrast, the southern side, which faces the former manor park, showcases more refined, elegant features with tall rectangular windows that bring a touch of sophistication. ???? Though the building has fallen into disrepair, it remains a vital part of the architectural heritage of the region. In fact, it has been listed in the DOCOMOMO registry, a prestigious global initiative that documents and preserves modernist architecture. #eesti #estonia #abandon #abandoned #tsooru #tsoorukolhoosikeskus #kolhoos #mahajäetud #mahajäetudkohad #mahajäetudhooned #abandonedbuildings #abandonedplaces #toomasrein #focusonestonia #võrumaa #vorumaa #visitvõrumaa #võru #arhitektuur #modernism #minimalism #abandonedestonia www.visitvoru.ee
