Manor
Pindi Manor
Pindi mõis · German: Bentenhof
Pindi is one of the oldest manors of the area, founded in the mid-16th century and named after its medieval owners, the Benten family. At that time it probably stood amid empty, unsettled land, since the dense settlement of south-eastern Estonia only came in the 18th and 19th centuries. From 1872 to 1919 it belonged to the von zur Mühlens. Since Rõuge church lay about 20 km away, the owners initiated the building of Pindi church, a neo-Gothic chapel of ease, in 1879–81, four kilometres south near today's Lasva. Of the manor itself, only an arched baroque granary of the late 18th century survives.

Eesti keeles
Pindi on ümbruskonna üks vanimaid mõisaid, rajatud 16. sajandi keskel ja nime saanud keskaegsete omanike Bentenite järgi. Tollal asus see ilmselt keset tühje asustamata alasid, sest Kagu-Eesti tihe asustus kujunes alles 18.–19. sajandil. 1872–1919 kuulus mõis von zur Mühlenitele. Kuna Rõuge kirikusse oli umbes 20 km, algatasid omanikud 1879–1881 neli kilomeetrit lõuna pool, praeguse Lasva lähedal, neogooti stiilis Pindi abikiriku ehitamise. Mõisast endast on säilinud vaid 18. sajandi lõpu kaaravadega barokne ait.
