Parkhofi Manor

Parkhof was a short-lived estate in Hageri parish, so short-lived that it is missing from modern lists of manors. It was founded in the last decades of the 19th century by von Husen, who expected the planned Tallinn–Viljandi railway to run through Hageri and hoped to turn the place into a summer resort for the capital's gentry. A wooden house in the style of Russian country estates went up in a single summer. The railway took another route, and with the birth of the Estonian Republic the half-manor became a farm. Only a road sign, Parkhofi tee, keeps the name alive.
