Manor

[edit ]

Hellenurme Manor (German: Hellenorm) was first mentioned in 1641, when it belonged to the Wrangells. After the Great Northern War the owners were the Dückers and Bruiningks. From 1850 till dispossession in 1919 it belonged to the Middendorffs. The one-storey main building was built from stone at the end of the 18th century and rebuilt in the 19th. A nursery and kindergarten now operate there.

About a kilometre from the manor's centre is a Classicist chapel and Middendorff family graveyard. Zoologist and explorer Alexander von Middendorff, who lived in the manor from 1842 to 1845, is buried there.[3]
