Imastu Mönnikorb

Imastu manor is first recorded in 1447. Before the 1919 expropriation it belonged to the Rehbinders, owners of the neighboring Udriku manor. The house is a small one-story Neo-Renaissance stone building designed by the architect Friedrich Modi and completed in 1882. The gable-roofed house has arched windows at its center. In the early 1900s a fair-faced red brick wing was added at its right end.

Today
For decades the manor center held a care home, which has since moved into a new building nearby; the house is privately owned. Many outbuildings survive, the grandest being a nine-arched granary from the late 1700s at the edge of the forecourt.
