Life and works[]

Otto Hippius was born to the painter and lithographer, Gustav Adolf Hippius, who taught his son art at a very early age. As a teenager, Otto Hippius studied in Germany and, in 1849, he graduated with honors from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

In 1864 Hippius became a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and in 1879 he became a professor.

Among his works are Sagnitz Manor (now in Sangaste) in southern Estonia, built for Count Friedrich Wilhelm Rembert von Berg between 1879 and 1883; Münkenhof Manor (now in Muuga), built for the painter Carl Timoleon von Neff between 1866 and 1873; Charles' Church in Reval (now Tallinn), constructed between 1862 and 1870; and Alexander Church (et) in Narva, constructed between 1881 and 1884.^[2]
