Vana-Kariste Manor

Vana-Kariste mõis · German: Karrishof, Alt-

Vana-Kariste, known simply as Kariste until 1795, appears in records from 1601. In the 1680s its tenant, Johann Heinrich von Rosenkampff, tried to demand higher dues from a farmer called Peeter of Kuivsaapa, who wrote to the governor in Riga and won: once he had paid 30 thalers, no cavalry duty could be demanded from his farm. Tradition holds that during the Great Northern War the Swedish king Charles XII hid at that same farm. In July 1702 Russian troops burned the manor. In 1734 it was given to Count Burchard Christoph von Münnich, but it was confiscated from him in the early 1740s and remained a crown estate.

Vana-Kariste mõis, mida kuni 1795. aastani nimetati lihtsalt Kariste mõisaks, esineb allikates alates 1601. aastast. 1680. aastatel üritas mõisa rentnik Johann Heinrich von Rosenkampff nõuda Kuivsaapa talu peremehelt Peetrilt suuremat andamit, kuid Peeter kirjutas Riia kubernerile ja sai õiguse: pärast 30 taalri maksmist ei tohtinud talult ratsakohustust nõuda. Pärimuse järgi peitis just selles talus end Põhjasõja ajal Rootsi kuningas Karl XII. 1702. aasta juulis põletasid Vene väed mõisa maha. 1734. aastal kingiti see krahv Burchard Christoph von Münnichile, kuid 1740. aastate algul konfiskeeriti see temalt ja mõis jäi kroonumõisaks.
