Ripuka Manor
Ripuka mõis · German: Rippoka
Ripuka in Laiuse parish was part of Kärde manor until it became independent in 1729, and its name recalls Johann Rebuck, who owned Kärde in 1532. Its house was a one-storey plastered stone building with tall, narrow windows and a small open wooden balcony at the back, but the most notable building was the enormous fieldstone cowshed with brick corners and gables. A small grove of ash, maple and silver willow stood in front of the house and an orchard behind it. In Soviet times the estate was used by a collective farm named Bolshevik, and photographs taken in 1971 preserve its appearance.

Laiuse kihelkonna Ripuka mõis kuulus Kärde mõisa juurde, kuni sai 1729. aastal iseseisvaks, ning selle nimi meenutab 1532. aastal Kärdet valdanud Johann Rebucki. Peahoone oli ühekorruseline krohvitud kivimaja kõrgete kitsaste akende ja tagaküljel väikese lahtise puitrõduga, kuid tähelepanuväärseim hoone oli hiiglaslik maakivist laut telliskivist nurkade ja viiludega. Maja ees kasvas väike saarte, vahtrate ja hõbepajude salu, taga oli viljapuuaed. Nõukogude ajal kasutas mõisa kolhoos Bolševik ning selle välimust hoiavad 1971. aastal tehtud fotod.
