Olustvere Manor

German: Ollustfer

Olustvere Manor

Olustvere's main house, finished in 1903 in the style of an English country house, was strikingly modern for its time, with electricity, central heating, a telephone and running water; its architect was probably Archibald MacPherson. In 1912–1913 the manor added a grain drier that was the first electrified and automated one in the Baltic region. The Fersen counts lost the estate on 10 October 1919, and in 1920 the Estonian Alexander Agricultural School moved in, later becoming a state-farm technical college. The school now works in a new building of 1985, while the manor house holds a tourism centre and the Olustvere museum.

Eesti keeles

Olustvere 1903. aastal valminud inglise maamaja stiilis peahoone oli oma aja kohta väga moodne: sinna oli sisse toodud elekter, keskküte, telefon ja veevärk; arhitekt oli arvatavasti Archibald MacPherson. 1912–1913 ehitati mõisa juurde aitkuivati, mis oli valmimise ajal esimene elektrifitseeritud ja automatiseeritud aitkuivati Baltikumis. Krahvid Fersenid kaotasid mõisa 10. oktoobril 1919 ning 1920. aastal kolis majja Eesti Aleksandri Põllutöökeskkool, hiljem sovhoostehnikum. Kool tegutseb nüüd 1985. aastal valminud uues hoones, mõisamajas on aga turismikeskus ja Olustvere muuseum.
