Vaivara Manor

Vaivara Manor

Vaivara church was built with the help of Karl von Sievers, owner of Laagna and Vaivara, and consecrated on 10 July 1776; the manor's alternative name, Siivertsi or Siewershof, recalls the family. In the 16th and 17th centuries the area held the villages of Suur- and Vana-Vaivara, and the old manor probably stood where Sinimäe now lies. The von Korff family owned the manor house until 1919, and in the 1920s–1930s it held the Vaivara children's home of the Narva branch of the Estonian Red Cross. On 16 August 1941 Soviet destruction battalion men retreating across the Narva river set the manor house on fire.

Eesti keeles

Vaivara kirik ehitati Laagna ja Vaivara mõisniku Karl von Sieversi abiga ning pühitseti 10. juulil 1776; mõisa teine nimi, Siivertsi ehk Siewershof, meenutab seda suguvõsa. 16.–17. sajandil asusid siin Suur- ja Vana-Vaivara küla ning vana mõis paiknes arvatavasti praeguse Sinimäe kohal. Kuni 1919. aastani kuulus mõisahoone von Korffidele ning 1920.–1930. aastatel tegutses seal Eesti Punase Risti Narva osakonna Vaivara lastekodu. 16. augustil 1941 süütasid Narva jõe taha taganevad hävituspataljonlased mõisahoone.
