Avanduse manor

Avanduse Manor (German: Awandus) is located in Simuna. It was first mentioned in written records in 1494. The present-day manor building was erected in 1679–1684 by the master builder Gerd Vorberg from Reval (Tallinn), who had been commissioned by the owner of the Avanduse estate, Gideon von Fock. The building has been significantly rebuilt since then; the most recent changes were made by the architect Rudolf von Engelhardt in 1890.[2]

The admiral and geographer Friedrich von Lütke (1797–1882) was one of the best-known owners of the estate, and there is a plaque dedicated to him on the manor building's wall.[2]
