Saue is a town in northern Estonia, located approximately 20 kilometers southwest of Tallinn within the Harju County. The settlement's history is deeply intertwined with the Saue Manor (Friedrichshof), which was completed in its current Late Baroque form in 1792 and is widely regarded as one of the most magnificent manor houses in the country. During the mid-20th century, Saue evolved into a prominent garden city and officially received its municipal town status in 1993. Today, it stands as a significant regional economic hub, featuring a modern industrial park that hosts various companies involved in logistics, manufacturing, and food processing. Its strategic location along the Tallinn-Keila railway line and the main highway towards Pärnu makes Saue a highly attractive residential area for commuters seeking a peaceful environment outside the capital. With a population of around 6,000 residents, the town provides excellent infrastructure, including modern schools, sports facilities, and extensive green spaces for recreation.
The most pleasant time to visit is Jul–Sep.
