Vaimastvere was first recorded in 1552, and its outlying estate was Tirma. In 1796 Vice-Governor Balthasar von Campenhausen bought it. It later belonged to the Steinheils and the Grünewaldts, from 1842 to Marshal of the Nobility Alexander von Oettingen, and from 1849 to the Brasch family. The main house was a one-story wooden building that held a school between the wars.
