Purtse, recorded in 1421 together with its mill, belonged to the Taube family until 1621, and in the 1530s they built a stone vassal castle here. It is one of the latest Estonian strongholds of Gothic origin, already showing Renaissance touches such as wider windows and doors. The three-storey house had storage below, living rooms in the middle and a defensive floor on top. From 1731 the Stackelbergs used Purtse as a farm estate of Püssi. The castle lost its defensive floor, fell into ruin by the 1950s and was restored in 1987–90, when the top floor and tower were rebuilt in conjectural form.

Eesti keeles

Purtse mõisa ja veskit mainitakse 1421. aastal; kuni 1621. aastani kuulus mõis Taubedele, kes ehitasid siia 1530. aastatel kivist vasallilinnuse. See on üks Eesti hilisemaid gooti vormidest võrsunud kindlusi, millel on juba renessansi jooni, näiteks laiemad akna- ja ukseavad. Kolmekorruselisel hoonel oli all laokorrus, keskel eluruumid ja üleval kaitsekorrus. 1731. aastast kasutasid Stackelbergid Purtset Püssi kõrvalmõisana. Kaitsekorruse kaotanud linnus jäi 1950. aastateks varemeisse ja restaureeriti 1987–1990, kui ülemine korrus ja torn taastati oletuslikul kujul.
