Vaimõisa Waddemois

Vaimõisa was first recorded in 1494, when it belonged to Hans Farensbach; in the Middle Ages it was probably a stone vassal castle. From 1724 it belonged for seven decades to the Wetter-Rosenthals. In 1793 the new owners, the Nasackins, began building a two-story main house, and the Wilckens, who bought the manor in 1802, completed it in 1818. The facade features a projecting three-window center with a triangular pediment and a rusticated ground floor, which probably incorporates walls of the medieval vassal castle.

Good to know

• The manor’s Gothic Revival granary, with a pointed portal and a rose window, looks like a small church.
• The tavern at the end of the avenue on the Tallinn–Pärnu road also served as a post station in the Swedish era.
• Unusually, the granary and stable framed the yard behind the house.
