Ohukotsu Manor

Ohukotsu mõis · German: Odenwald

Ohukotsu, recorded from 1484, changed hands very often, its owners including Jacob De la Gardie; from 1842 to 1919 the Tiesenhausens held it. The modest wooden house with an off-centre gable was built in the mid-19th century, and two avenues met at right angles at the manor centre. In the 1920s and 30s it was the local community centre. At the start of Soviet rule in 1940 most of it was pulled down, with the promise of a fine modern community centre in its place. That promise was never kept, and the last surviving end vanished after the war.

1484. aastast teada oleva Ohukotsu mõisa omanikud vahetusid väga tihti, nende seas oli ka Jacob De la Gardie; 1842–1919 kuulus mõis Tiesenhausenitele. Tagasihoidlik ebasümmeetrilise frontooniga puidust peahoone ehitati 19. sajandi keskel ning mõisasüdamesse viisid kaks täisnurga all kohtuvat alleed. 1920.–30. aastatel oli majas kohalik rahvamaja. Nõukogude võimu alguses 1940. aastal lammutati suurem osa hoonest, lubades selle asemele ehitada korraliku moodsa rahvamaja. Lubadus jäi täitmata ja sõjajärgsetel aastakümnetel kadus ka viimane säilinud ots.
