Aru Manor

Aru mõis · German: Arrohof

Aru began in the late 17th century as a son's share: in 1686 Anton Philipp von Saltza of Lehtse carved it out of his estate for his son Anton Friedrich. Over the next two centuries it changed hands many times until a marriage in 1811 brought it to the Hoyningen-Huene family, who kept it until the land reform of 1919. The manor house was a rambling wooden building, part one storey and part two, built in the later 19th century. It is gone now; only the fieldstone foundations remain on top of a high hill.

Eesti keeles

Aru sai alguse 17. sajandi lõpus pojaosana: 1686. aastal eraldas Lehtse mõisnik Anton Philipp von Saltza selle oma valdusest poeg Anton Friedrichi jaoks. Järgmise kahe sajandi jooksul vahetas mõis korduvalt omanikku, kuni 1811. aasta abielu tõi selle Hoyningen-Huenede perekonnale, kelle käes see püsis 1919. aasta maareformini. Peahoone oli 19. sajandi teisel poolel ehitatud liigendatud puitmaja, osalt ühe-, osalt kahekorruseline. Seda enam ei ole, kõrgel künkal on alles vaid maakividest vundamendi jäänused.
