Voltveti Manor
Voltveti mõis · German: Tignitz
Voltveti, today Tihemetsa, takes its Estonian name from the Wolffeldt family, who held it in the 17th century; the present place name, coined in the 1930s, is an Estonianised form of the German Tignitz. From 1786 until 1919 the estate belonged to the Stryk family. Their two-storey stone house of 1830 has a four-columned portico with reclining lions on top. After the land reform it became an agricultural technical school and was enlarged several times between the 1930s and 70s, gaining a third floor and new wings. By the road stands the manor's tavern, the longest in Estonia, and the Stryk family cemetery lies two kilometres away.

Eesti keeles
Voltveti, tänapäeval Tihemetsa, on saanud eestikeelse nime 17. sajandil seda valdanud Wolffeldtide järgi; praegune 1930. aastatel loodud kohanimi on saksakeelse Tignitzi eestindus. 1786. aastast 1919. aastani kuulus mõis Strykidele. Nende 1830. aastal valminud kahekorruselisel kivimajal on nelja sambaga portikus, mille peal lamavad lõvifiguurid. Pärast maareformi sai sellest põllumajandustehnikum ja hoonet suurendati 1930.–70. aastatel mitu korda, lisades kolmanda korruse ja uusi tiibu. Maantee ääres seisab mõisa kõrtsihoone, Eesti pikim, ning kaks kilomeetrit eemal on Strykide perekonnakalmistu.
