Kriimani manor dates from the Middle Ages and took its German name from its owners at the time, the Brinkens. In the Swedish era it belonged to the Riegemanns, who gave it its Estonian name. After the Great Northern War it was held by the Kawers, the Boettigers, the Rosens, the Blankenhagens and the Stryks; the last owner was Margarete von Brasch. The manor stands on a low hill on the shore of the small but lovely Lake Kriimani. The one-story timber house probably dates from the mid-1800s and has a three-window superstructure at its center.
The house serves as a municipal social housing building. Most of the many outbuildings are gone; the few that survive are ruined or altered beyond recognition.
