Tuhala Manor
Tuhala Manor
Tuhala Manor was first mentioned in 1468 as Toall. It belonged to several Baltic German families: Tödwen (1468–1517); Delwig (1517 – mid-16th century); Ulrich (?–1663); Wrangell (1663–1693); Mellin (1692–1863); Lilienfeld (1863–1919). The cartographer Ludwig August Mellin was born in the manor. The last main building had two storeys and was built c. 1800. Its early Classical appearance was changed to a more Neoclassical appearance in the 1880s. The manor was burned down during the Revolution of 1905, along with more than 150 manors in Estonia. It was never restored; nowadays only few parts of the walls remain. Some of the outbuildings have been preserved. • Illustration — Tuhala Manor after the fire in 1905 • Illustration — The Tuhala River in Tuhala
