Vaimõisa

Vaimõisa (German: Waddemois) is a village in Märjamaa Parish, Rapla County in western Estonia.

[1] Vaimõisa as a landed estate has existed at least since 1494,[2] but the first manor house was probably destroyed during the Livonian War.

[2] Among more illustrious owners are Gustave Rosenthal, who fought in the American Revolutionary War, and General H. Rautsmann, who taught Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, can be mentioned.

It is a comparatively well-preserved manor house, with some interior features, such as original doors, stucco decoration, fireplaces and parquet floors, surviving to this day.

[3] Apart from the main building, the manor park and some outbuildings, including a Gothic Revival smithy, remain.
