Polli Manor

German: Pollenhof / Poll

Polli Manor

The Stryk lords of Polli have gone down in folk memory as unpleasant characters, and the writer August Kitzberg, who worked as a clerk in the Polli parish house in 1880–1891, portrayed them vividly in his works. The first main house was built in the 1770s by the Duntens, and alongside large stables and granaries the manor had a unique kennel house. The Stryks held Polli until 1919. In 1921 the Pärnu agricultural school opened in the house, and in 1945 the Polli horticultural institute was founded; its successor, the Polli horticultural research centre of the Estonian University of Life Sciences, now works in a new building nearby.

Eesti keeles

Polli Strykid on jäänud rahvamällu ebameeldivate tegelastena ning kirjanik August Kitzberg, kes töötas aastatel 1880–1891 Polli vallamajas kirjutajana, kirjeldas neid oma teostes värvikalt. Esimese peahoone ehitasid 1770. aastatel Duntenid ning lisaks suurtele tallidele ja aitadele oli mõisas ainulaadne koertemaja. Strykidele kuulus Polli kuni 1919. aastani. 1921. aastal avati häärberis Pärnu Põllutöökool ja 1945. aastal asutati Polli aianduse instituut, mille traditsioone kannab praegu Eesti Maaülikooli Polli aiandusuuringute keskus, mis tegutseb lähedal uues hoones.
