Pikavere Pickfer
Pikavere was first recorded in 1446, when the widow of Hans von Maydell pledged the manor to Johann Risbiter. In the 1600s it passed to the Bremens and then to the Uexkülls, who held it for more than a century. From 1771 it belonged to the Baranoffs, later to the Berens von Rautenfeldts and the Antropoffs; in 1889 Konstantin von Taube bought it. The long one-story classical main house was built in the early 1800s.
