Roobaka Manor
Roobaka mõis · German: Ropaka
Roobaka in Karja parish on Saaremaa is first recorded in 1519 as Ropecke, when it was granted to the Titfer family. From 1731 it belonged to the Stackelbergs, from 1823 to the Vietinghoffs and from 1846 until the 1919 expropriation to the Helmersens, the last owner being Joseph von Helmersen. The 19th-century stone manor house with an attic floor is now a ruin with most of its walls standing. What makes the place special is the care of its neighbours: the villagers of Roobaka keep the manor park beautifully tended, holding community clean-up days every year, and the village society now meets in the manor's old tavern.

Eesti keeles
Saaremaa Karja kihelkonna Roobaka mõisa mainitakse esmakordselt 1519. aastal Ropecke nime all, kui see läänistati Titferitele. 1731. aastast kuulus see Stackelbergidele, 1823. aastast Vietinghoffidele ja 1846. aastast 1919. aasta võõrandamiseni Helmersenidele, viimasena Joseph von Helmersenile. 19. sajandi katusekorrusega kivist peahoone on varemeis, enamik müüre on püsti. Paiga teeb eriliseks naabrite hool: Roobaka küla elanikud hoiavad mõisaparki suurepäraselt korras ja korraldavad seal igal aastal talguid ning külaselts tegutseb nüüd mõisa endises kõrtsis.
