Rabivere manor is first recorded in 1417. In the mid-1500s it belonged to the Mecks, and from 1664 until the late 1700s to the Baranoffs. Later it passed to the Mohrenschildts, the Stackelbergs and the von der Deckens; the last owner was Gustav von Sivers. The long one-story house with a half-hipped roof was probably built around 1800. Opposite the house, across the carriage circle, stood the granary and the stable and carriage house.
The house survives in roughly its original form. The granary and the stable and carriage house passed to settlers in the 1920s and have been heavily altered. The park wall survives, restored in the 1980s; most farm buildings are gone or in ruins.
