Piiskopi Manor

The Bishop's manor in Tartu has a special place in the history of Estonian schooling. In the Livonian era part of it belonged to the convent of St Catherine in Tartu; in Swedish times another part, called Papimõisa, became the glebe of the pastors of Tartu's Finnish congregation in 1634. In 1684 Bengt Gottfried Forselius ran his famous seminar here, training Estonian peasant boys as teachers, the seed of Estonian-language public schooling. Later the manor served the superintendent of Livonia. Nothing of the manor house survives; on its site is the Forselius park with a memorial stone.

Tartu Piiskopi mõisal on eesti koolihariduse ajaloos eriline koht. Ordu ajal kuulus osa mõisast Tartu Katariina kloostrile; Rootsi ajal sai teine osa, nn Papimõis, 1634. aastal Tartu soome koguduse kirikuõpetajate lauamõisaks. 1684. aastal tegutses mõisa juures Bengt Gottfried Forseliuse kuulus seminar, kus eesti talupoisse õpetati koolmeistriteks – sellest sai alguse eestikeelne rahvakool. Hiljem oli mõis Liivimaa superintendendi lauamõis. Mõisahoonest pole midagi alles; selle kohal on Forseliuse park mälestuskiviga.
