Valgu Manor
Valgu mõis · German: Walck
Valgu near Märjamaa is recorded from the 1280s and was linked for centuries with the powerful Fahrensbach family. Its grand two-storey house, probably built in the 1810s–20s, had a massive portico of six Ionic columns under a tall hipped roof. In the 1905 uprising it was burned, and it was rebuilt with a flat emergency roof, which it still has, and without the portico; at first only the ground floor was used. In 1938 the rural municipality bought the house from Baron Theodor Pilar von Pilchau for a school, and Valgu basic school still teaches in it today.

Märjamaa lähedal asuvast Valgu mõisast on teateid 1280. aastatest ning see oli sajandeid seotud mõjuka Fahrensbachide suguvõsaga. Selle suurejooneline kahekorruseline peahoone, mis ehitati tõenäoliselt 1810.–20. aastatel, kandis kõrge kelpkatuse all kuue joonia sambaga massiivset portikust. 1905. aasta mässu ajal põletati maja maha ja see taastati lameda hädakatusega, mis on alles tänini, ning portikuseta; algul võeti kasutusele vaid esimene korrus. 1938. aastal ostis vald maja parun Theodor Pilar von Pilchault kooli jaoks ning Valgu põhikool õpetab seal praegugi.
