Manor
Pikva Manor
Pikva's historicist main house was finished in 1850, one storey high at its ends and two in the middle. The manor became independent only in 1858, when both Pikva and Alavere belonged to the Ungern-Sternbergs; later it passed to Baron Wolter Stackelberg and from 1887 to Robert Georg Turmann, who held it until 1919. From 1920 to 1972 the house was a school. Three old tiled stoves survive inside, and the present lord of the manor likes to tell that they were once covered with thirteen layers of paint.

Eesti keeles
Pikva historitsistlik peahoone valmis 1850. aastal – otstest ühekorruseline, keskelt kahekorruseline. Iseseisvaks rüütlimõisaks sai Pikva alles 1858. aastal, mil nii Pikva kui ka Alavere kuulusid Ungern-Sternbergidele. Hiljem läks mõis parun Wolter Stackelbergile ja 1887. aastast Robert Georg Turmannile, kellele see kuulus kuni 1919. aastani. Aastatel 1920–1972 tegutses majas kool. Hoones on säilinud kolm vana ahju ning praegune mõisahärra räägib, et need olnud kaetud kolmeteistkümne värvikihiga.
