Manor
Ontika Manor
For three years, 1775–1778, Ontika together with Voka and Toila belonged to an unexpected owner: the Duchess of Kingston, Elizabeth Chudleigh, a society figure famous for scandal who had moved to Russia. From the 19th century the estate passed to the Clapier de Colongue family, and its last owner, Konstantin von Clapier de Colongue, a former admiral of the Russian imperial navy, kept farming 66 hectares at the manor after the land reform. The present late classicist house with eclectic details dates from 1855. Since Estonia regained independence the manor centre has changed hands several times.

Eesti keeles
Kolm aastat, 1775–1778, kuulusid Ontika koos Voka ja Toila mõisaga ootamatule omanikule – Kingstoni hertsoginnale Elizabeth Chudleighile, skandaalse kuulsusega seltskonnadaamile, kes oli asunud Venemaale. Hiljem läks mõis Clapier de Colongue'ide suguvõsale ning viimane omanik, endine Venemaa keisririigi admiral Konstantin von Clapier de Colongue pidas pärast maareformi mõisahoonetes 66 hektari suurust majapidamist. Praegune eklektiliste detailidega hilisklassitsistlik peahoone pärineb 1855. aastast. Eesti taasiseseisvumise järel on mõisasüda korduvalt omanikku vahetanud.
