Puiatu Manor

The Puiatu estate (German k Sonit) was founded in the 17th century. In the 19th century, the estate belonged to the von Kruedeneri, whose ownership he remained until the 1919 dispossession. In the hands of the Von Kruedeneri, part of the manor heart with several outbuildings remained until the displacement to Germany in 1939. The manor's one-storey main building with a half-hipped roof was probably built at the turn of the 18th to 19th centuries. A children's home was housed in the building after the transfer, while a special alternative school was later set up. In modern times, the manor house belongs to the Puiatu Special International School complex. For school use, a new three-storey stone building has been built in the heart of the estate in the 1960s. Some outbuildings have also been preserved, albeit in many ways rebuilt. According to the historical distribution, the estate belonging to the Kõpu Parish in Viljandi County remains in Viljandi County in the territory of Viljandi Municipality in modern times.
