Maardu Manor

Maardu's manor house is one of the few in Estonia that survive from the late 17th century, alongside Palmse and Aa. From 1747 the estate belonged to Peter von Brevern, and the Brevern family held it until the nationalisation of 1919. Their family cemetery is unusually close to home: it lies only about 150 metres from the house, in the part of the park behind it. After the land reform a primary school used the house until 1972, and today the manor serves as a training and holiday centre owned by the Bank of Estonia. The ruins of the manor windmill stand nearby.

Eesti keeles

Maardu peahoone on üks väheseid Eestis säilinud 17. sajandi lõpu härrastemaju, Palmse ja Aa kõrval. 1747. aastast kuulus mõis Peter von Brevernile ning Brevernid valdasid seda kuni riigistamiseni 1919. aastal. Nende perekonnakalmistu on kodule ebatavaliselt lähedal: see asub peahoonest vaid umbes 150 meetri kaugusel maja taga olevas pargiosas. Pärast maareformi tegutses majas kuni 1972. aastani algkool ning praegu on mõisas Eesti Pangale kuuluv õppe- ja puhkekeskus. Lähedal seisavad mõisa tuuleveski varemed.
