Manor
Vohnja Manor
German: Fonal
Vohnja's classicist ensemble, a single-storey main house of the 1820s–1830s surrounded by many outbuildings of fieldstone and fired brick, is counted among the finest examples of high classicism in Estonia. After the land reform the manor centre was given to Karl Kikerpill for his services in the War of Independence; the Farmers' Association bought the house from him, and in 1930 it was rebuilt as the Vohnja community hall. In 1949, when collective farms were formed, the house became the centre of the Lembit Pärn collective farm. Today it holds the Vohnja kindergarten-primary school and a branch of the parish library.

Eesti keeles
Vohnja klassitsistlikku ansamblit – 1820.–1830. aastatel ehitatud ühekorruselist peahoonet koos arvukate põllukivist ja tellistest kõrvalhoonetega – peetakse üheks parimaks kõrgklassitsismi näiteks Eestis. Pärast maareformi anti mõisasüda Karl Kikerpillile teenete eest Vabadussõjas; temalt ostis maja Põllumeeste Ühing ja 1930. aastal ehitati see ümber Vohnja rahvamajaks. 1949. aastal, kui loodi kolhoosid, sai härrastemajast Lembit Pärna nimelise kolhoosi keskus. Praegu on majas Vohnja Lasteaed-Algkool ja Kadrina valla raamatukogu Vohnja haruraamatukogu.
