Manor
Pudivere Manor
German: Poidifer
The writer Eduard Vilde, one of the giants of Estonian literature, was born in 1865 in Pudivere village on this manor's land. The later manor house, possibly designed by Friedrich Modi, is a rare example of the Swiss chalet style: its front has a broad arcade on slender wooden columns, the plinth is of dressed limestone and the corners are edged with red brick. Inside, the halls were decorated with neo-rococo paintings, green-gold plant ornaments on a pale green ground, most of which were damaged in a fire in 1999. In the 19th century the estate passed through many families before the Bremens held it until 1919.

Pudivere mõisa Pudivere külas sündis 1865. aastal kirjanik Eduard Vilde, üks eesti kirjanduse suurkujusid. Hilisem peahoone, mille arhitekt võis olla Friedrich Modi, on haruldane šveitsi stiilis hoone: esiküljel on avar arkaadistik saledatel puitsammastel, sokkel on lihvitud paekivist ja nurgad on kantud punase telliskiviga. Saale kaunistasid uusrokokoolikud maalingud – helerohelisel taustal tumerohelised, valged ja kuldsed taimornamendid –, millest enamik sai 1999. aasta põlengus kannatada. 19. sajandil vahetas mõis sageli omanikke kuni 1911–1919 kuulus see Bremenitele.
