Manor
Kärstna Manor
German: Kerstenhof
Kärstna was split off from neighbouring Helme in 1678, and the Anrep family held it from 1740 until 1919. Its last owner, Konrad von Anrep, stood out: in November 1917, amid the revolution, the locals elected him head of the militia of the Helme-Kärstna parish. The two-storey house grew in stages, from an early classicist block of the late 18th century to a second wing added around 1900 that nearly doubled it; it was later restored to plans by Otto Wildau. From 1924 to 2014 the house held a school. On a hilltop the Anreps laid out a family cemetery with a chapel, which lay in ruins until 2013.

Eesti keeles
Kärstna eraldati naabruses asuvast Helme mõisast 1678. aastal ja Anrepid valdasid seda 1740. aastast kuni 1919. aastani. Viimasel omanikul Konrad von Anrepil oli erakordne eristus: 1917. aasta novembris, keset revolutsiooni, valiti ta Helme-Kärstna valla miilitsavanemaks. Kahekorruseline härrastemaja kasvas mitmes järgus – 18. sajandi lõpu varaklassitsistlikule hoonele lisati umbes 1900. aastal risti teine tiib, mis tegi maja peaaegu poole suuremaks; hiljem taastati see arhitekt Otto Wildau kavandi järgi. Aastatel 1924–2014 tegutses majas kool. Anrepid rajasid mäe tippu perekonnakalmistu koos kabeliga, mis oli 2013. aastani varemeis.
