Lohu Manor
German: Loal
Lohu's walls held a hidden treasure. Around 1825 its painted rooms were covered with rare panoramic wallpapers on the theme of Cervantes' Don Quixote, bought at auction and probably printed in Paris by Jacquemart and Bernard. In Soviet times the house was used as a grain store and the papers suffered, so in 1966 they were removed for restoration, and beneath them and the plaster appeared fragments of wall paintings signed by Welte and dated 1791. The wallpapers were restored in Moscow and are kept in the Estonian History Museum. The explorer Adam Johann von Krusenstern rented a house at Lohu until 1816, and his daughter was born here.

Lohu seinad peitsid aaret. Umbes 1825. aastal kaeti maalitud ruumid haruldaste oksjonilt ostetud Cervantese „Don Quijote” teemaliste pilttapeetidega, mis pärinevad arvatavasti Pariisis Jacquemarti ja Bernardi trükikojast. Nõukogude ajal kasutati maja viljahoidlana ja tapeedid kannatasid, nii et 1966. aastal võeti need restaureerimiseks maha ning tapeetide ja krohvi alt tulid välja seinamaalingud signatuuriga Welte ja dateeringuga 1791. Tapeedid restaureeriti Moskvas ja neid hoitakse Eesti Ajaloomuuseumis. Maadeuurija Adam Johann von Krusenstern üüris Lohus maja kuni 1816. aastani ning tema tütar sündis siin.
