Karitsa Manor

Karitsa was carved out of the large Rakvere estate around 1800 and owned just two villages, Levala and Tamna. Its small claim to fame came early: in the summer of 1836 building work began at the manor, and on 29 October of that year the Karitsa village school opened its doors inside the manor building itself, long before most Estonian manors turned into schools after 1919. The last owner before the land reform was Andreas von Dehn. The one-storey stone house of the early 19th century gained a two-storey left wing around the start of the 20th century and is now privately owned.
