Purdi Manor

Purdi, Estonia

Purdi manor (Noistfer) has a history that goes back to at least 1560. The current building is a baroque manor house, built in circa 1760-1770 by the von Baranoff family. Some baroque interiors still survive. Additions to the building were made in the 19th century. Several annexes belonging to the estate are still preserved, notably the granary, as well as the baroque burial chapel of the Ungern-Sternberg family, who were the last feudal landlords of the estate.

Purdi , Paide vald, Järvamaa 58.994646, 25.620578 ‎58° 59' 40.73", 25° 37' 14.08" Современный предшественник мызы Пурди, находился в Оятагузе, в трёх километрах от центральной части мызы на запад. Здесь находилась мыза ордена, которая сначала принадлежала Таллинну, позже пайдескому городскому фогту. Во время ливонской войны, 7 июня 1560 года, русские войска подожгли мызу Оятагузе и она сгорела до тла. В послевоенное время, эти земли перешли во владение к Буртам, которые построили новый господский дом на месте старого. Немецкое название мызы Нойсфер, стали использовать в качестве исторического названия местности. Эстонское название Пурди происходит от фамилии одних из владельцев мызы. В 17 веке, Бурты построили каменный господский дом, который, предположительно, был разрушен в годы Северной войны, когда совершались грабительские набеги на всю эту территорию. В 18 веке, мыза перешла во владение к дворянской семье Бараноффа. В 1760-70 годах Бараноффы построили одноэтажный каменный господский дом в стиле барокко, который сохранился до наших дней. Построенный в то время господский дом имел щипковую крышу, а также невысокие пристройки. Центральная часть здания датируется 17 веком. Неподалёку от господского дома находится ряд хозяйственных построек 18 века – амбар, конюшня, экипажная, дом управляющего и дом для прислуги – часть из них сохранилась, от некоторых остались лишь развалины. Из мызы к церкви Анна ведёт 2-километровая аллея. До 2000 года на мызе функционировала школа, на сегодняшний день, мыза находится в частном владении. В юго-западном направлении, на расстоянии 1,5 км, неподалёку от дороги, ведущей к церкви Анна, находится часовня с волютной крышей.

Broch of Gurness

The Broch of Gurness is an Iron Age broch village. Settlement here began sometime between 500 and 200 BC. At the centre of the settlement is a stone tower or broch, which once probably reached a height of around 10 metres. Its interior is divided into sections by upright slabs. The tower features two skins of drystone walls, with stone-floored galleries in between. These are accessed by steps. Stone ledges suggest that there was once an upper storey with a timber floor. The roof would have been thatched, surrounded by a wall walk linked by stairs to the ground floor. The broch features two hearths and a subterranean stone cistern with steps leading down into it. It is thought to have some religious significance, relating to an Iron Age cult of the underground.

The remains of the central tower are up to 3.6 metres high, and the stone walls are up to 4.1 metres thick. The tower was likely inhabited by the principal family or clan of the area but also served as a last resort for the village in case of an attack.

The broch continued to be inhabited while it began to collapse and the original structures were altered. The cistern was filled in and the interior was repartitioned. The ruin visible today reflects this secondary phase of the broch's use.

The site is surrounded by three ditches cut out of the rock with stone ramparts, encircling an area of around 45 metres diameter. The remains of numerous small stone dwellings with small yards and sheds can be found between the inner ditch and the tower. These were built after the tower, but were a part of the settlement's initial conception. A 'main street' connects the outer entrance to the broch. The settlement is the best-preserved of all broch villages.

Pieces of a Roman amphora dating to before 60 AD were found here, lending weight to the record that a 'King of Orkney' submitted to Emperor Claudius at Colchester in 43 AD.

At some point after 100 AD the broch was abandoned and the ditches filled in. It is thought that settlement at the broch continued into the 5th century AD, the period known as Pictish times. By that time the broch was not used anymore and some of its stones were reused to build smaller dwellings on top of the earlier buildings. Until about the 8th century, the site was just a single farmstead.

In the 9th century, a Norse woman was buried at the site in a stone-lined grave with two bronze brooches and a sickle and knife made from iron. Other finds suggest that Norse men were buried here too.
