Kaave Manor

Kaave mõis · German: Kawa

Kaave became an independent knight's manor in 1741, split off from Rutikvere, and from 1820 to 1919 it was a subsidiary estate of Kurista, owned by the von Samson-Himmelstjerna family. Two notable men of Estonian origin came from here: the painter Woldemar Friedrich Krüger, born at Kaave in 1808, who made a career as a Baltic German artist, and the writer and revolutionary Ernst Bark. The long, one-storey early classicist stone house under a half-hipped roof has mostly fallen into ruin; only its right wing still stands, with a granary and carriage house nearby.

Eesti keeles

Kaave mõis eraldati iseseisva rüütlimõisana Rutikverest 1741. aastal ning 1820–1919 oli see Kurista kõrvalmõis, mis kuulus von Samson-Himmelstjernadele. Siit on pärit kaks tähelepanuväärset eesti päritolu meest: 1808. aastal Kaavel sündinud maalikunstnik Woldemar Friedrich Krüger, kes tegi karjääri baltisaksa kunstnikuna, ning kirjamees ja revolutsioonitegelane Ernst Bark. Pikk ühekorruseline poolkelpkatusega varaklassitsistlik kivimaja on suuremalt jaolt varemeis; püsti on vaid parempoolne tiib ning läheduses ait ja tõllakuur.
