Sarakuste Manor
Sarakuste mõis · German: Sarrakus
Sarakuste in Võnnu parish was split off from Kurista in the second half of the 18th century and changed owners many times; before the 1919 expropriation it belonged to the Nolcken family. Its two-storey historicist manor house, probably built in the mid-19th century, stood close to the Emajõgi river, and that location sealed its fate. In 1944 the front line ran along the river, and the house was destroyed in the battles of the Emajõgi. Afterwards it was rebuilt as a one-storey building, but that too has since fallen into ruin, leaving the war's mark still visible on the landscape.

Eesti keeles
Võnnu kihelkonna Sarakuste mõis eraldati Kuristast 18. sajandi teisel poolel ja vahetas korduvalt omanikku; enne 1919. aasta võõrandamist kuulus see Nolckenitele. Selle kahekorruseline historitsistlik peahoone, mis ehitati tõenäoliselt 19. sajandi keskel, seisis Emajõe lähedal ja see asukoht määras tema saatuse. 1944. aastal kulges rinne mööda jõge ning maja hävis Emajõe lahingutes. Hiljem taastati see ühekorruselisena, kuid ka see hoone on nüüdseks varemeis ja sõja jälg on maastikul endiselt näha.
