Lümandu Manor

Lümandu mõis · German: Limmat

Lümandu in Hageri parish was never built up in grand style: from 1785 it was a subsidiary estate of Sutlema, and apart from a modest house there were hardly any buildings. Its claim to fame is natural: from the manor pond and the protected Lümandu springs nearby rises the Vasalemma river. In 1549 Ewert Mecks had bought the village from the Tallinn cathedral chapter, and the estate later passed through Stackelberg hands. In the 1910s a village schoolmaster, Mihkel Rõuk, bought the manor site and built its first fine house. He developed farming and gardening here, and in his large heated greenhouses even watermelons and melons ripened.

Hageri kihelkonna Lümandu mõisa ei ehitatud kunagi esinduslikult välja: 1785. aastast oli see Sutlema kõrvalmõis ja peale tagasihoidliku peahoone suuremaid hooneid polnudki. Kuulsuse annab sellele loodus: mõisa tiigist ja lähedastest kaitsealustest Lümandu allikatest saab alguse Vasalemma jõgi. 1549. aastal oli Ewert Mecks ostnud küla Tallinna toomkapiitlilt ning hiljem käis mõis Stackelbergide käes. 1910. aastatel ostis mõisakoha koolmeister Mihkel Rõuk ja ehitas sinna esimese uhke hoone. Ta arendas siin põllumajandust ja aiandust ning tema suurtes köetavates kasvuhoonetes valmisid isegi arbuusid ja melonid.
