Lehmja Manor

The Lehmja estate (German k Rosenhagen) was established in the 1630s. The first owner of the estate became Bogislaus von Rosen. Since 1723, the estate belonged to Berend Jörgen Lantinghausen. In 1825 the estate was acquired by Pontus von Knorring, whose family held him for seven decades. Since the von Knorrings owned the Kurna estate, Lehmja at the time turned factually into an adjacent, or economic, estate of the Kurna estate, which was not even constructed in a representative way, but the various economic and auxiliary buildings set the tone in the estate. In modern times, the heart of the estate has become the western part of the St. George's borough. The estate has mainly preserved several outbuildings, including a long stone worker's house. The supposed wooden main building has been destroyed. At the same time, at the end of the 19th century it may not have existed anymore, since the aforementioned long building could also play the role of the main building.
