Avanduse Manor, Noble estate in Simuna parish, Estonia.
Avanduse Manor is an estate with a main house and outbuildings situated on agricultural land in northeastern Estonia. The complex comprises several structures that illustrate the typical layout of a country seat.
The manor was first documented in 1494 and received its present form between 1679 and 1684 under master builder Gerd Vorberg from Reval. This construction period shaped the complex's appearance for centuries to come.
The estate housed several noble families and reflects the social structure of Estonian gentry. Visitors can sense how such manor houses shaped rural life during their time.
The estate is located in the countryside and is best reached by car, as public transport is limited. Visitors should expect unpaved roads and a rural setting.
Scholar and Admiral Friedrich von Lütke, once president of the Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg, lived here. A commemorative plaque marks his time at this estate.
