Manor
Auvere Manor
German: Ampfer
Auvere manor centre sits on an island in a bog: a dry patch of about two by four kilometres on the northern edge of the Kõrgesoo mire. In 1783 Carl Friedrich Tenner was born here, the son of the estate steward. He grew up to become an astronomer and one of the founders of scientific geodesy in Russia. The manor was later reduced to a half-manor, but the bog island it stood on still defines the landscape around Auvere village. In 1864 a village school was opened at Auvere, with Jaan Wichelmann as its first teacher.

Auvere mõisasüda asub soosaarel – umbes kaks korda neli kilomeetrit suurusel kuival alal Kõrgesoo põhjaservas. 1783. aastal sündis siin mõisavalitseja pojana Carl Friedrich Tenner, kellest sai astronoom ja üks teadusliku geodeesia rajajaid Venemaal. Hiljem muutus mõis poolmõisaks, kuid soosaar, millel see asus, kujundab Auvere küla maastikku tänini. 1864. aastal avati Auveres külakool, mille esimene õpetaja oli Jaan Wichelmann.
