Juuru was first recorded in 1682 as an outlying farm of Maidla, which Otto Reinhold Taube acquired together with Maidla. It became an estate in its own right only in the early 1800s. Its owners included the Mengdens, the Fersens, the Kursells, the Stackelbergs and finally the Maydells. The long one-story stone house was probably built in the later 1700s and remodeled in the Historicist period. After land reform it held a post office and a doctor’s office, and in the Soviet era a hospital.
