Käravete Manor

Käravete has gathered dark folk tales. People said an inquisition court once sat at the manor, and in autumn 1895 a secret cellar with an iron door was indeed found beneath it. Behind the manor lies a mill lake, said to have been dug for a bushel of silver coins, with an island where a small stone chapel once stood; when it was pulled down, old boxes full of leather straps were found, said to have been cut from people's backs. Another tale says a lord built Ambla church and rode to watch the work in a cart drawn by naked girls.

Käravete mõisaga on seotud süngeid rahvajutte. Räägiti, et mõisas asunud vanasti inkvisitsioonikohus, ning 1895. aasta sügisel leitigi mõisa alt rauduksega salakelder. Mõisa taga on veskijärv, mis olevat kaevatud vakatäie hõberaha eest; järve saarel seisis kunagi väike kivikabel ja selle lammutamisel leiti vanu laudkaste nahkrihmadega, mis rahva jutu järgi olevat inimeste seljast lõigatud. Teise loo järgi ehitanud mõisnik Ambla kiriku ja sõitnud ehitust vaatama vankriga, mida vedanud alasti noored tüdrukud.
