Veltsa Manor
Veltsa mõis · German: Weltz
Veltsa in Mihkli parish was founded in the 1590s and long shared owners with neighbouring Keblaste and Aru; from 1818 until 1919 it belonged to the Uexkülls. In the 1850s it was made the new showpiece centre, built in the then fashionable English Tudor style. Around 1853 a slate-roofed manor house in the manner of an English country house went up, with English gables and a small central turret, along with a large English park and many outbuildings. Since the house looked modest beside the cheese dairy, an even grander house was probably planned but never built. Only ruins remain, with a scrap of the original slate roof.

Eesti keeles
Mihkli kihelkonna Veltsa mõis rajati 1590. aastatel ning sellel olid pikalt ühised omanikud naabruses asuvate Keblaste ja Aruga; 1818. aastast 1919. aastani kuulus see Uexküllidele. 1850. aastatel tehti Veltsast uus esinduskeskus, mis ehitati tollal moodsas inglise tuudorstiilis. Umbes 1853. aastal kerkis inglise maamõisaid jäljendav kiltkivikatusega peahoone inglaslike viilude ja väikese keskse haritorniga ning rajati suur inglise park ja arvukalt kõrvalhooneid. Kuna maja paistis juustukoja kõrval tagasihoidlik, oli ilmselt kavas veelgi suurem peahoone, mis jäi ehitamata. Alles on vaid varemed tükikese algse kiltkivikatusega.
