Vaabina Manor

Vaabina mõis · German: Uelzen

Vaabina in Urvaste parish grew from a vassal castle that the Tiesenhausens held from the 15th century together with neighbouring Antsla. In 1522 Fabian Tiesenhausen received Vaabina as his share of his father's inheritance. After the Truce of Jam Zapolski in 1582, brokered by the papal legate, the Jesuit Antonio Possevino, the Poles took over the former bishopric of Tartu and inventoried their new property: the stone castle of Vaabina, they recorded, had collapsed and lay in rubble, though the earth ramparts the Germans had raised when the Muscovites besieged it were still there.

Urvaste kihelkonna Vaabina mõis kasvas välja vasallilinnusest, mida Tiesenhausenid valdasid 15. sajandist koos naabruses asuva Antslaga. 1522. aastal sai Fabian Tiesenhausen Vaabina oma osana isa pärandist. Pärast 1582. aasta Jam Zapolski vaherahu, mille vahendas paavsti legaat jesuiit Antonio Possevino, said poolakad endise Tartu piiskopkonna alad ja inventeerisid oma uue vara: Vaabina kivilinnus, kirjutasid nad, oli kokku kukkunud ja rusudega kaetud, kuigi mullavallid, mille sakslased olid ehitanud moskvalaste piiramise ajal, olid veel alles.
