Manor
Kaagvere Manor
German: Kawershof
Kaagvere's German name, Kawershof, recalls the Kawer family who owned it in the Middle Ages. After nationalisation the buildings were handed to the town of Tartu in 1920, and the manor became a place of care: first a home for mothers and infants, then from 1926 a children's home. The manor house was destroyed by bombing in 1941, and in 1957 a new house with side wings was built on its foundations for the orphanage. From 1965 it held a vocational special school teaching sewing and vegetable growing to girls with behavioural problems, later the Kaagvere special school, merged in 2015 into the Maarjamaa Education College.

Eesti keeles
Kaagvere saksakeelne nimi Kawershof meenutab Kawereid, kellele mõis keskajal kuulus. Pärast riigistamist anti mõisahooned 1920. aastal Tartu linnale ja mõisast sai hoolekandepaik: esmalt emade ja rinnalaste kodu, 1926. aastast lastekodu. 1941. aastal hävis mõisahäärber pommirünnakus ning 1957. aastal ehitati selle vundamendile lastekodule uus külgtiibadega maja. 1965. aastast tegutses seal erikutsekool, kus käitumisraskustega tüdrukud õppisid õmblemist ja köögiviljakasvatust; hiljem kandis see Kaagvere erikooli nime ja liideti 2015. aastal Maarjamaa Hariduskolleegiumiga.
