Manor
Pürksi Manor
Pürksi mõis · German: Birkas
Pürksi, in the old Swedish-speaking parish of Noarootsi, was founded in 1620 and belonged from the late 18th century until 1919 to the Ungern-Sternberg family. Its one-storey house, part stone and part wood, was built in several stages in the 19th century. By the time Noarootsi Gymnasium was being founded, the roof leaked badly but the walls still stood, and it was decided to use the old manor as a school. Restoration began in 1990, and the house was reopened on 19 December 1995 in the presence of President Lennart Meri. Today it holds the gymnasium's Swedish-language classrooms, a fitting use for a parish with deep Swedish roots.

Eesti keeles
Rootsi asustusega Noarootsi kihelkonnas asuv Pürksi mõis rajati 1620. aastal ja kuulus 18. sajandi lõpust 1919. aastani Ungern-Sternbergidele. Ühekorruseline, osalt kivist, osalt puidust peahoone ehitati 19. sajandil mitmes järgus. Noarootsi Gümnaasiumi rajamise ajaks laskis katus küll läbi, kuid seinad olid alles ning otsustati vana mõisamaja koolina kasutusele võtta. Restaureerimist alustati 1990. aastal ja maja avati pidulikult 19. detsembril 1995, kohal oli ka president Lennart Meri. Tänapäeval asuvad siin gümnaasiumi rootsi keele õppeklassid, mis sobib hästi sügavate rootsi juurtega kihelkonnale.
