Manor
Ängi Manor
German: Enge
Ängi had an unusual last owner: not a baron but an Estonian, Jaan Kurrik. After the manor was liquidated in 1923, its land was divided among holders of the Cross of Liberty, the decoration awarded to heroes of the War of Independence, who received farms here as a reward. In the same year, on 1 May, a horse-drawn post station of the Suure-Jaani route opened at the manor centre with twelve horses, and it was Jaan Kurrik himself who carried the mail and passengers.

Eesti keeles
Ängi mõisal oli ebatavaline viimane omanik – mitte parun, vaid eestlane Jaan Kurrik. Pärast mõisa likvideerimist 1923. aastal jagati selle maa Vabadusristi kavaleride, Vabadussõja kangelaste vahel, kes said siia autasuks talukohad. Samal aastal, 1. mail, avati mõisasüdame juures kaheteistkümne hobusega Suure-Jaani hobupostijaam ning posti ja reisijaid vedas just Jaan Kurrik.
