By the 1840s and 1850s, the period of strict
Classicist
forms was over and architects started to use details of all historical architectural styles (Romanesque, gothic, renaissance, baroque, classicism) at the same time or then tried to imitate a specific historical style. This period is called Historicism. A building where a specific historical style (eg. gothic style) has predominantly been used and other styles have mostly been avoided is also called a neo – or pseudo style (eg. Neo-Gothic or pseudo-Gothic) building. A building where several styles have been imitated can fall into different categories.

In the Estonian manorial architecture, the period of Historicism or Neo styles lasted until World War I. During that period, many new manor houses were built and even more were reconstructed. The majority of Estonian manors have some elements or parts dating back to that period.
