Erastvere Manor
German: Errestfer
Erastvere was first recorded in 1452, when Johann Soye bought it from the Bishop of Tartu, and from 1657 it belonged to the Ungern-Sternbergs. After the land reform it became a place of care: in 1926 an old people's home opened here, which from the start also took in people with mental disorders. The manor house was demolished in 1972 and a new two-storey building opened in 1976. Today Erastvere care home looks after nearly 200 people from all over Estonia with chronic mental illness and intellectual disability. In 2005 a new chapel was consecrated in the old cemetery, paid for by the last baron's son Gerd Ungern-Sternberg.

Erastvere mõisat on esmamainitud 1452. aastal, kui Johann Soye ostis selle Tartu piiskopilt, ning 1657. aastast kuulus see Ungern-Sternbergidele. Pärast maareformi sai mõisast hoolekandepaik: 1926. aastal avati siin vanadekodu, kuhu juba algusest peale paigutati ka psüühikahäiretega inimesi. Härrastemaja lammutati 1972. aastal ja 1976. aastal avati uus kahekorruseline peamaja. Praegu elab Erastvere Hooldekodus ligi 200 kroonilise psüühikahäire ja vaimupuudega inimest üle Eesti. 2005. aastal pühitseti kalmistul uus kabel, mille ehitamiseks andis raha Saksamaal elav viimase paruni poeg Gerd Ungern-Sternberg.
