Pajusi Manor

Pajusi mõis · German: Pajus

Pajusi in Põltsamaa parish was founded in the 17th century, and in 1721 Peter the Great gave it to the state councillor Heinrich von Fick as a reward for military service. From 1820 it belonged to the Wahl family. Their long stone house of the early 19th century lost its left wing, which was demolished in the 1930s, but the centre and right wing still house the Pajusi community centre. A kilometre and a half to the north, the Wahls made their family cemetery on top of a small, unusually steep hill, and their restored burial chapel still stands there.

Eesti keeles

Põltsamaa kihelkonna Pajusi mõis rajati 17. sajandil ning 1721. aastal kinkis Peeter I selle sõjaliste teenete eest riiginõunik Heinrich von Fickile. 1820. aastast kuulus mõis Wahlidele. Nende 19. sajandi algul ehitatud pika kivimaja vasak tiib lammutati 1930. aastatel, kuid keskosas ja paremas tiivas tegutseb Pajusi rahvamaja tänaseni. Poolteist kilomeetrit põhja pool rajasid Wahlid väikese, ent erakordselt järsu künka otsa oma perekonnakalmistu, kus seisab praegugi nende restaureeritud matusekabel.
