Nehatu Manor
Nehatu mõis · German: Nehhat
Nehatu in Karuse parish became an independent manor at the end of the 17th century, assembled from the villages of Õeküla, Nehatu, Virita and Lõo, which had once belonged to the Livonian Order's Lihula fief and then passed through Swedish royal grants. The estate is remembered above all as the home of a painter: Gregor von Bochmann, the Baltic German artist who became a professor at the Düsseldorf Academy of Arts, came from Nehatu. Today little of the manor itself is known to survive, but the artist's name keeps this quiet coastal corner of Karuse parish on the map.

Karuse kihelkonna Nehatu mõis kujunes iseseisvaks 17. sajandi lõpus Õeküla, Nehatu, Virita ja Lõo küla baasil, mis olid varem kuulunud Liivi ordu Lihula läänile ning seejärel käinud läbi Rootsi kuningate läänistuste. Mõisa mäletatakse eelkõige ühe maalikunstniku kodupaigana: Nehatult oli pärit baltisaksa kunstnik Gregor von Bochmann, kellest sai Düsseldorfi Kunstiakadeemia professor. Mõisast endast on teada vähe, kuid kunstniku nimi hoiab selle vaikse Karuse kihelkonna rannanurga meeles.
