Edise manor is first recorded in 1477, when it belonged to the Tuve family, later known as the Taubes. In the Middle Ages a vassal castle was built here beside the Tallinn–Narva road; Russian troops took it in May 1558. In the 1600s the manor passed to the Maydells and later, for a long time, to the Rosens. The Neo-Renaissance house was built in the 1860s: a one-story stone building with a mansard roof, arched windows separated by lesenes, and a projecting porch with three arched windows. Opposite the house, across the carriage circle, stood a grand arcaded granary-drier.
The house survives but stands unused with boarded-up windows. A newer building was put up in the middle of the former carriage circle, and the park has been carved up into industrial lots. Of the medieval castle only rubble mounds remain.

Good to know
The ruins of the medieval castle’s three-story gate tower stood until the 1950s, when they were demolished.
After the 1919 expropriation the manor center went to General Aleksander Tõnisson, known from the War of Independence.
