Kukulinna Manor
Kukulinna mõis · German: Kuckulin
Kukulinna in Äksi parish was first mentioned in 1553, and its name sounds to Estonian ears like 'cuckoo town'. The present manor house dates from the 19th century and is a wooden building in neo-Gothic style, a rarer choice than the usual stone classicism. The last owner before the land reform was Helene von Löwenstern, born Richter. In Soviet times the manor buildings served as a pioneer camp of the Tartu trade administration, where city children spent their summers. Since then the house has been in private hands but left without care, and it is slowly falling apart.

Eesti keeles
Äksi kihelkonna Kukulinna mõisa mainitakse esmakordselt 1553. aastal. Praegune härrastemaja pärineb 19. sajandist ning on uusgooti stiilis puithoone, mis on harvem valik kui tavaline kivist klassitsism. Viimane omanik enne maareformi oli Helene von Löwenstern, sündinud Richter. Nõukogude ajal tegutses mõisahoonetes Tartu Kaubandusvalitsuse pioneerilaager, kus linnalapsed veetsid oma suvesid. Hiljem on maja olnud eraomandis, kuid hooleta ning laguneb tasapisi.
