Manor
Pada Manor
German: Paddas
Pada village was one of the largest in Virumaa when the Danish census book listed it in 1241, with forty ploughlands. The manor's main house was finished in 1782 to a design by Jean-Baptiste Vallin de la Mothe, a French architect who made his career in Russia and worked on buildings in St Petersburg. The house did not last, however: since 1917 it has stood in ruins, a shell of the work of a court-level architect in a country village. The Manteuffels and their heirs, the Kotzebues, owned the estate through most of the 19th century.

Pada küla oli 1241. aasta Taani hindamisraamatu järgi 40 adramaaga üks Virumaa suuremaid külasid. Mõisa härrastemaja valmis 1782. aastal Venemaal karjääri teinud Prantsuse arhitekti Jean-Baptiste Vallin de la Mothe'i projekti järgi, kes töötas ka Peterburi hoonete juures. Hoone ei püsinud aga kaua: alates 1917. aastast on härrastemaja varemeis. Suurema osa 19. sajandist kuulus mõis Manteuffelitele ja nende pärijatele Kotzebuedele.
