Manor
Moora Manor
German: Mohrenhof
Moora manor did not simply decay; it was recycled. After the 1919 land reform the estate was divided, and by 1938 its land held 34 purchased farms and 78 settlers' farms. Between 1924 and 1931 every manor building was pulled down, and the stones were carried off to build the new public buildings of nearby Laekvere: the village shop, the schoolhouse, the dairy and the fire station. So the manor lives on, in a way, in the walls of the small town that grew up on its former land. Its distillery and windmill had been built as late as 1889.

Moora mõis ei lagunenud lihtsalt – see võeti uuesti kasutusse. Pärast 1919. aasta maareformi mõis jagati ja 1938. aastaks oli selle maadel 34 ostetud talu ja 78 asundustalu. Aastatel 1924–1931 lammutati kõik mõisahooned ning kividest ehitati lähedal asuva Laekvere uued ühiskondlikud hooned: kauplus, koolimaja, meierei ja pritsimaja. Nii elab mõis omamoodi edasi selle aleviku müürides, mis kasvas tema endistele maadele. Viinaköök ja tuuleveski olid ehitatud alles 1889. aastal.
