Mustjala manor on Saaremaa was founded around 1605 as a state estate, though the village of Mustjala is older than the manor. Of the old complex, the ice cellar survives and is still used to store vegetables, while the smithy, cowshed and servants' house have gone. The estate kept one secret for a long time: in the late 1990s, while a water pipe was being laid, workers discovered an underground tunnel connecting the main house with the ice cellar. The house itself, once a school boarding house, now holds the Mustjala library and a public internet point.

Eesti keeles

Saaremaa Mustjala mõis rajati 1605. aasta paiku riigimõisana, kuigi Mustjala küla on mõisast vanem. Vanast kompleksist on alles jääkelder, mida kasutatakse praegugi köögiviljakeldrina, sepikoda, laut ja teenijatemaja on aga hävinud. Üht saladust hoidis mõis kaua: 1990. aastate lõpus veetrassi paigaldades avastati maa-alune tunnelkäik, mis ühendab peahoonet jääkeldriga. Peahoones, mis oli kunagi kooli internaat, asuvad nüüd Mustjala raamatukogu ja avalik internetipunkt.
