Selja Manor
German: Selgs
Selja, once known by the German name Tolsburg, owned the villages of Selja, Rutja, Karepa and Toolse on the Virumaa coast. From 1582 its lord was William Ruthven, a man with a Scottish name, during the turmoil of the Livonian War; in the early 17th century it passed through Polish and then Swedish hands before being granted to the Wrangells in 1617. Later it belonged to the Löwenwoldes, the Rennenkampffs and finally the Girard de Soucantons until 1919. The two-storey limestone manor house was probably built in the second half of the 18th century; it and the outbuildings are now in poor condition or lost.

Eesti keeles
Selja mõisale, mille saksakeelne nimi oli varem Tolsburg, kuulusid Virumaa rannikul Selja, Rutja, Karepa ja Toolse küla maad. 1582. aastast oli mõisa omanik šotipärase nimega William Ruthven; 17. sajandi alguses oli mõis poolakate ja seejärel rootslaste käes, kuni see 1617. aastal läänistati Wrangellidele. Hiljem kuulus see Löwenwoldedele, Rennenkampffidele ja viimaks kuni 1919. aastani Girard de Soucantonidele. Kahekorruseline paekivist peahoone ehitati tõenäoliselt 18. sajandi teisel poolel; see ja kõrvalhooned on nüüd halvas seisus või hävinud.
