Abja mõis

Fallen into ruin over the past hundred years, the Manor House still retains its sense of grandeur.

Nothing to look at is not recommended.

It's sad to see how the children's home and manor will break down.

Interesting history. Unfortunately, many buildings collapsed

Abja Viljandimaa, 58.127515, 25.393460 58 ° 7 '39.05 ", 25 ° 23' 36.46" The earliest references to Abya Manor are dated 1582. In the 17th century, the estate belonged to von Fersen, after the end of the Northern War, the estate passed into the possession of Karl Magnus von Posse. In the 1780s, the estate was acquired by von Stackelberg, in whose hands the manor was located until the nationalization of 1919. The last owner of the estate, before the period of nationalization, was Charles von Stackelberg. The central part of the manor is located at a distance of one kilometer in a northeast direction from present-day Abya, on the outskirts of a high slope. The estate acquired a representative form in the second half of the 18th century, while the estate belonged to Adolf von Stackelberg. In the 1780s, a one-story manor house was built in the style of the late Baroque era, the back of which was directed to the slope, thus, picturesque views were opened here. A barn and a horse-drawn carriage were built across from the house. Between them ran a straight road three kilometers long, from the road there was a manor with beautiful views. The outbuildings were located hundreds of meters from the manor house in a northwest direction, at the foot of a steep slope. At the end of the 19th century, a two-story extension appeared on the right side of the manor house. After a period of nationalization, there was a household school in the manor house. After the Second World War, there was an orphanage. Later, in the 1950s, the oldest part of the building was completed and became a two-story building for an orphanage. Later, in the restored manor house, for a long time, there was a border cordon of the Republic of Estonia. A beautiful barn with an arcade, which was located opposite the master’s house, was preserved, but the stable-carriage, however, collapsed. Nowadays, the manor is privately owned.
