The earliest records of Einmanni date from 1449; the manor took its German name from the owner of that time, Hans Korps. The one-story timber Early Classical main house was completed around 1820 and is one of Estonia’s finest examples of classicism in wood. At the center of the facade is a four-column portico with a triangular pediment; dentils adorn both the pediment and the eaves cornice. Unusually, the granary and the stable and carriage house – each with a portico of six grouped columns – framed the yard behind the house rather than the forecourt.
The main house survives but in rather poor condition – its portico has lost its two outer columns. The granary survives in a dilapidated state; the stable and carriage house has lost its columned portico. The complex is privately owned.
