Maidla Manor

The Maidla estate (German k Wredehagen) has been first mentioned in 1465; it was named in Estonian after the 17th century owners von Maydells. Later, the estate has belonged to many families. The 18th century was in the possession of the estate von Fersen. In the 1860s, the estate belonged to the von Anthropoffs. The said estate is one of five estates named Maidla in Estonia. From 1871 until the transfer, the estate was owned by the Markgraf family, the last owner of the estate was Hugo Markgraf. In 1867, a long one-story stone main building of the estate was erected. The wide central part of the building's three windows was two-storey and decorated with arc windows. The right wing was slightly protruding and was adorned with a triangle fronton. Most likely, the building was rebuilt from some earlier facility at the time. To us, only the ruins of the left end have survived from the building - the rest of the building was demolished in the 1930s, when it was in use as a residential building on a settlement farm.
