Manor
Esna Manor
Esna takes its Estonian name from a Swedish general. In 1626 King Gustav II Adolf granted the village of Orrisaare and its neighbours to Major General Alexander von Essen, and the manor that grew there became known after the Essen family. From the 1790s it belonged to the Grünewaldts, who built the modest wooden classicist house in the early 1820s and added a stone wing in the 1880s. After the 1919 land reform Adolph von Grünewaldt stayed on at the manor centre, but he was murdered in 1921. The restored house is now privately owned.

Eesti keeles
Esna on oma eestikeelse nime saanud Rootsi kindrali järgi. 1626. aastal läänistas kuningas Gustav II Adolf Orrisaare ja naaberkülad kindralmajor Alexander von Essenile ning sinna tekkinud mõisa hakatigi Essenite järgi nimetama. 1790. aastatest kuulus mõis Grünewaldtidele, kes ehitasid 1820. aastate alguses tagasihoidliku ühekorruselise klassitsistliku puithoone ja lisasid sellele 1880. aastatel kivist tiiva. Pärast 1919. aasta maareformi jäi Adolph von Grünewaldt mõisasüdamesse elama, kuid ta mõrvati 1921. aastal. Restaureeritud peahoone on praegu eravalduses.
