Suure-Rõngu Manor

Suure-Rõngu mõis · German: Ringen, Schloss

The Ring, or Grand Ring Manor (German k Schloßer Ringen), dates back to the Middle Ages, it is first mentioned in the early 15th century. In the Middle Ages, the estate belonged to the von Tödwens and was constructed as a stone vassal fortress. The Vasalli Castle, or fortified manor house, was located at the top of the high hill. The two-storey buildings were located on the outskirts of the outer walls of the castel-like fortress. There was also a protruding gate tower on the east side, with a fortress chapel on the second floor at the gateway site. In the Livonian War, the fortress went from hand to hand several times in the battle between the Order and the Russian forces in 1558, becoming ruins in the process. Best of all - more or less in full height - the eastern wall is preserved. In Swedish times, the estate belonged to the Flemmings, later he was reduced to state ownership. The manor heart emerged east of the fortress ruins.

Eesti keeles

Rõngu ehk Suure-Rõngu mõis (saksa k Schloß Ringen ) pärineb keskajast, seda on esmamainitud 15. sajandi alguses. Keskajal kuulus mõis von Tödwenitele ning oli välja ehitatud kivist vasallilinnusena. Vasallilinnus ehk kindlustatud mõisahoone paiknes kõrge künka tipus. Kahekorruselised hooned paiknesid kastellilaadse linnuse välismüüride äärtes. Idaküljel asus ka eenduv väravatorn, mille teisel korrusel väravaava kohas paiknes linnusekabel. Liivi sõjas käis linnus 1558. aastal ordu ja Vene vägede vahelises lahingus mitu korda käest kätte, muutudes selle käigus varemeteks. Kõige paremini - enam-vähem täies kõrguses - on säilinud idamüür. Rootsi ajal kuulus mõis Flemmingitele, hiljem redutseeriti ta riigi omandusse. Mõisasüda tekkis linnusevaremetest ida poole.
