Pootsi Manor
Pootsi mõis · German: Podis
Pootsi in Tõstamaa parish was founded in Polish times and got its stately stone house, with a four-columned portico, under the Lilienfelds in the early 19th century. The Maydells kept the manor centre until the 1939 resettlement, when Baron Heinrich Gotthard von Maydell sold it to an Estonian, Hans Põldsam, who ran a busy farm with grain, poultry, sheep and horses and summer haymaking on Manija island. In October 1940 he was arrested at his Hotel Bristol in Pärnu and taken to a prison camp in Kirov, where he was killed in 1942. After the war the house became a school, raised to two storeys in 1962.

Tõstamaa kihelkonna Pootsi mõis rajati Poola ajal ning sai nelja sambaga portikusega esindusliku kivist peahoone Lilienfeldide ajal 19. sajandi algul. Maydellid hoidsid mõisasüdant 1939. aasta ümberasumiseni, mil parun Heinrich Gotthard von Maydell müüs selle eestlasele Hans Põldsamile, kes pidas elavat majapidamist teravilja, kanade, lammaste ja hobustega ning suviste heinategudega Manija saarel. 1940. aasta oktoobris arreteeriti ta talle kuulunud Pärnu hotellis Bristol ja viidi Kirovi vangilaagrisse, kus ta 1942. aastal tapeti. Pärast sõda asus majas kool ja 1962. aastal ehitati see kahekorruseliseks.
