Võhksa Manor
Võhksa mõis · German: Wexholm
Võhksa, on the south-east coast of Saaremaa, had a stone manor house that was two storeys in the middle and one at the ends, its finest feature being the raised centre with five windows side by side under a low pediment with a round window. It probably got this look in the 1860s–70s, rebuilt from a simpler, typically Saaremaa one-storey house. After the Second World War it suffered an unglamorous fate: it was converted into a grain drier, and its one-storey ends were demolished. In that truncated form it still stands, privately owned, in a large park where only traces of the outbuildings remain.

Saaremaa kagurannikul asuva Võhksa mõisa kivist peahoone oli keskelt kahe- ja otstest ühekorruseline ning kauneim osa oli viie kõrvutise aknaga keskne pealeehitus ümaraknaga lameda kolmnurkfrontooni all. Sellise ilme sai maja arvatavasti 1860.–70. aastatel, kui see ehitati ümber lihtsamast saaremaapärasest ühekorruselisest majast. Pärast Teist maailmasõda tabas seda proosaline saatus: see ehitati ümber viljakuivatiks ja ühekorruselised otsad lammutati. Sellisena seisab see eraomandis tänini suures pargis, kus kõrvalhoonetest on alles vaid riismed.
