Hummuli manor
[edit | edit source]Hummuli manor has a history that goes back to at least 1470. The present-day building however dates from the 1860s, when the manor belonged to the local aristocrats von Samson-Himmelstjerna, who were the owners of the estate right up until 1914. Today the manor houses a school, and although a few interior details remain, the interior layout of the neo-Gothic building has changed drastically.[2]
In 1919 a battle of the Estonian War of Independence took place near Hummuli manor.
