Mõigu Manor

Mõigu mõis · German: Moik

Mõigu, on the edge of Tallinn, was split off from Rae in the 1670s, and its centre moved to its present site around the mid-18th century. Late in that century Empress Catherine II gave the estate to the congregation of Tallinn's Dome Church, and it served in effect as the cathedral's parsonage estate until the early 20th century. In the 1770s the cemetery of the Dome and other congregations was laid out on the town side of Mõigu land. The one-storey stone house of about 1800 is now a private home, and the small park behind it runs down to Lake Ülemiste.

Eesti keeles

Tallinna serval asuv Mõigu mõis eraldati Raest 1670. aastatel ning mõisakeskus viidi praegusesse kohta 18. sajandi keskel. Sajandi lõpus kinkis keisrinna Katariina II mõisa Tallinna toomkogudusele ning see toimis sisuliselt toomkiriku kirikumõisana 20. sajandi alguseni. 1770. aastatel rajati Mõigu maade linnapoolsesse ossa toomkoguduste kalmistu. Umbes 1800. aastal ehitatud ühekorruseline kivist peahoone on nüüd eramu ja selle taga asuv väike park ulatub Ülemiste järveni.
