Teenuse Manor

Teenuse mõis · German: Stenhusen

Teenuse stands where the Kasari and Luiste rivers meet and it was founded in the 16th century as a vassal castle. Its German name, Stenhusen, 'stone house', suggests a stone building stood here already in the Middle Ages, and the Estonian name Teenuse comes from it. The present house dates from the late 18th century; it was damaged by fire in the 1905 unrest and restored in slightly changed form. From 1748 until 1919 the estate belonged to the Maydell family, and the artist Friedrich Ludwig von Maydell, engraver, painter and sculptor, was born here.

Eesti keeles

Teenuse mõis asub Kasari ja Luiste jõe ühinemiskohas ning see rajati 16. sajandil vasallilinnusena. Saksakeelne nimi Stenhusen ehk kivimaja viitab, et juba keskajal võis siin olla kivist hoone, ja sellest on tuletatud ka eestikeelne nimi Teenuse. Praegune peahoone pärineb 18. sajandi lõpust; 1905. aasta rahutustes sai see tulekahjus kannatada ja taastati veidi muudetud kujul. 1748. aastast 1919. aastani kuulus mõis Maydellidele ning siin sündis graafik, maalikunstnik ja kujur Friedrich Ludwig von Maydell.
